Abstract:
Colovesical fistula is the result of a pathologic connection between the bladder and colon. It can be a deadly sequela of a variety of conditions. Diagnosis is usually confirmed by a computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen. We present a case of a patient who had multiple CT scans that did not show signs of fistula and was still successfully treated. Clinicians should follow clinical signs for colovesical fistula and pursue treatment regardless of CT scan findings.

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...

01:10Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
