Small Bowel Imaging from Stepchild of Roentgenology to MR Enterography, Part II: The Reliable Disclosure of Crohn's Disease and Non-Inflammatory Small Bowel Disorder Plot through MRI Findings.

MRE has become a standard imaging test for evaluating patients with small bowel pathology, but a rigorous methodology for describing and interpreting the pathological findings is mandatory. Strictures, abscess, inflammatory activity, sinus tract, wall edema, fistula, mucosal lesions, strictures, and mesentery fat hypertrophy are all indicators of small bowel damage in inflammatory and non-inflammatory small bowel disease, and they are all commonly and accurately explained by MRE. MRE is a non-invasive modality that accurately assesses the intra-luminal, parietal, and extra-luminal small bowel.

Small Bowel Imaging from Stepchild of Roentgenology to MR Enterography: Part I: Guidance in Performing and Observing Normal and Abnormal Imaging Findings.

MRE has become a standard imaging test for evaluating patients with small bowel pathology, but the indications, interpretation of imaging findings, methodology, and appropriate use must be standardized and widely known. Several signs of small bowel damage in inflammatory and non-inflammatory small bowel pathology include strictures, abscess, inflammatory activity, sinus tract, wall edema, fistula, mucosal lesions, and mesentery fat hypertrophy, all of which are widely and accurately explained by MRE. MRE is a non-invasive modality that accurately assesses the intra-luminal, parietal, and extra-luminal small bowel.

Bib Sign in Proximal Descending Thoracic Aorta Rupture on CT Angiography: Presentation of a Paradigmatic Case.

Thoracic aortic rupture may present with subtle clinical and CT-angiography findings. Recognition of the imaging features of early rupture is key for timely diagnosis and treatment. This report presents a new sign of incipient proximal thoracic aortic rupture on CT-angiography.

Assisted patency with primary stent placement in distal anastomotic stenoses of lower limb bypass grafts.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of primary stent placement for treating distal anastomotic infragenicular bypass stenoses in terms of technical success and middle-term (2-year) patency rates.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-one patients underwent primary stent placement for the treatment of distal anastomotic stenoses after infragenicular bypasses. Patients underwent clinical and color flow and duplex Doppler ultrasonographic (US) examinations 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after the endovascular procedure and every year thereafter if no complications occurred.

Multidetector CT in abdominal aortic aneurysm treated with endovascular repair: are unenhanced and delayed phase enhanced images effective for endoleak detection?

Purpose: To retrospectively determine the sensitivity and specificity of unenhanced, delayed enhanced phase (DEP), and arterial enhanced phase (AEP) multi-detector row computed tomography (CT) for depicting endoleaks during follow-up of endovascular aneurysm repair.

Materials And Methods: Fifty patients (two women, 48 men; mean age, 72 years) underwent follow-up multi-detector row CT 1, 6, and 12 months after endovascular aneurysm repair. Unenhanced CT was performed with 2.
