[CT and MRI findings in patients with autoimmune pancreatitis].

Objective: To evaluate computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in patients with autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP).

Methods: The imaging findings of pancreas and extra-pancreas in 24 patients with AIP were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, CT scan was performed in 18 patients, MRI in 11, and bGth CT and MRI in 10.

Small intestinal lipomas: diagnostic value of multi-slice CT enterography.

Aim: To analyze the clinical and imaging features of the small intestinal lipomas and to evaluate the diagnostic value of multi-slice computed tomography (CT) enterography.

Methods: Fourteen cases (one had two intestinal lesions) of surgically confirmed lipomas of the small intestine were retrospectively analyzed. The location, size, clinical and radiological aspects were discussed.

Diagnosis of obscure gastrointestinal hemorrhage with capsule endoscopy in combination with multiple-detector computed tomography.

Aim: To demonstrate the clinical efficacy of combination capsule endoscopy (CE) and multiple-detector computed tomography (MDCT) diagnostic imaging in the identification of gastrointestinal hemorrhages.

Methods: In the present study, 123 patients with gastrointestinal hemorrhages of obscure origin (GHOO) were examined with CE in combination with MDCT. The results were compared with findings of surgical pathology.

[A clinical study on the diagnostic value of capsule endoscopy and multiple-detector computer tomography in obscure gastrointestinal bleeding].

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of capsule endoscopy (CE) and multiple-detector computer tomography (MDCT) in obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.

Methods: The diagnostic value of CE was compared with that of MDCT in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. 60 patients (35 men, 25 women; mean age 53.

[Clinical characteristics of hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome: analysis of 8 cases].

Objective: To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS).

Methods: The data of 8 patients with SOS, including clinical manifestations, laboratory results, imaging, pathology, and the course of diagnosis and treatment were reviewed. All cases were followed up.
