Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is the most common GI diagnosis leading to hospitalization within the United States. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of GI bleeding is critical to improving patient outcomes and reducing high healthcare utilization and costs. Radiologic techniques including computed tomography angiography, catheter angiography, computed tomography enterography, magnetic resonance enterography, nuclear medicine red blood cell scan, and technetium-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy (Meckel scan) are frequently used to evaluate patients with GI bleeding and are complementary to GI endoscopy.

We present three neonates born with erythema and purpura of the nasal tip that subsequently ulcerated, then evolved into a thick eschar. Each healed well with conservative management but left behind significant scarring.

- Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is the leading cause of GI-related hospitalizations in the U.S., making timely diagnosis and treatment essential for better patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.
- Various radiologic techniques, such as CT angiography and MR enterography, are used to assess GI bleeding and work alongside GI endoscopy, although existing management guidelines can create confusion about their use.
- An expert panel has reviewed these radiologic methods, discussing their performance, pros and cons compared to endoscopy, and providing consensus recommendations for their technical application in GI bleeding cases.
