Diagnostic performance of MDCT in identifying closed loop small bowel obstruction.

Purpose: To assess the diagnostic performance of MDCT in the diagnosis of closed loop small bowel obstruction.

Materials And Methods: One hundred fifty patients with CT reports including "small bowel obstruction (SBO)" between 1/30/2011 and 12/4/2012 were included (65 men, 85 women, mean age 63 years). CT examinations were independently and blindly reviewed by five radiologists to determine the presence of closed loop obstruction (CL-SBO) and to assess findings of bowel ischemia.

Diagnosis of focal nodular hyperplasia with MRI: multicenter retrospective study comparing gadobenate dimeglumine to gadoxetate disodium.

Objective: The purpose of this article is to report the results from a multicenter retrospective MRI study comparing gadobenate dimeglumine and gadoxetate disodium for diagnosis of hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH).

Materials And Methods: Thirty patients (28 women and two men; mean age, 37.1 years) with hepatic FNH who underwent both gadobenate dimeglumine- and gadoxetate disodium-enhanced MRI at 1.
