[Diagnostic value of magnetic resonance enterography for small intestinal disease]
Objective:
To evaluate the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) for small intestinal disease.
Methods:
From January to July 2013, 53 consecutive patients(male/female = 22/31, median age = 61 years) with suspected small intestinal disease were recruited. And the examinations of MRE and capsule endoscopy (CE) examinations were performed.
Results:
MRE revealed 31 cases (31/53) and CE 30 cases (30/45) of small intestinal diseases. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve revealed that the area under the curve (AUC) of MRE was 90% in detecting small intestine lesions and AUC of MRE was 72. 9% in diagnosing small intestine lesions. There was a remarkable coherence of MRE and CE in detecting small intestine lesions (χ2 = 28. 800, P = 0. 000).
Conclusion:
MRE is ideal for detecting and diagnosing small bowel disease.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...
