Abstract:
The mesentery may be affected by multiple disease processes. Magnetic resonance imaging aids as a virtual pathological biopsy tool in the assessment of mesenteric masses because of superior soft tissue contrast and characterization. In this comprehensive review, we describe in detail the magnetic resonance imaging features of some solid and cystic mesenteric masses, with an emphasis on lesion-specific signal characteristics on T1- and T2-weighted images, diffusion-weighted imaging, and enhancement features on the dynamic postcontrast phase that aid in narrowing the differential diagnosis.

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...
