Computed tomography in Crohn's disease
Abstract:
Computed tomography, barium examinations, and endoscopy play complementary roles in documenting the extent of disease in patients with Crohn's disease. Computed tomography is most often requested for patients with suspected or known intraabdominal or pelvic abscesses. In addition to documenting the presence and extent of abscess formation, other pathological processes in patients with Crohn's disease, may be demonstrated on computed tomography scans. These include thickening and/or contrast enhancement of inflamed bowel wall, inflammatory changes in the mesenteric and perirectal fat, and fistulous tract formation.

Computed 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...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...

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...
