[Morpho-functional radiologic evaluation of ileal reservoirs]
Abstract:
Nine patients (4 males and 5 females) have been treated by proctocolectomy with ileal pouch "reservoir". Defecography has been performed. Five patients have been examined by defecography before and four after closure of a loop ileostomy performed to cover healing of the pouch and ileoanal anastomoses. Pouch's evacuation is often inadequate in "S" shaped reservoir (Parks), but postoperative complications are infrequent. Pouch's evacuation is often total in "J" shaped reservoir (Utsunomiya), but post-operative complications are possible.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

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 solid...
