EE-090 - Bowel thickening: Imaging approach on CT and MR enterography
Abstract
Objectives
Approach to small bowel thickening on CT and MR enterography
Illustrate and discuss various patterns of bowel thickening including inflammatory bowel disease with emphasis on Crohn's disease, infections, vasculitis, NSAID enteropathy, narcotic bowel, radiation enteropathy and briefly on small bowel tumours.
Background
Small bowel involvement is an extremely common entity discovered on imaging and frequently the pattern of thickening is non-specific. Knowledge of disease site involvement, pattern especially length of disease, symmetrical versus asymmetrical, perienteric changes, attenuation, signal and enhancement pattern, extra-intestinal disease etc. can help to reach a tenable diagnosis.
Imaging findings OR Procedure findings
Discuss the indications with the advantages and disadvantages of CT and MR enterography in the various clinical scenario.
Illustrate disease pattern on CT and MR enterography in various entities like:
1) Inflammatory bowel disease: Crohn's especially asymmetrical involvement, comb's sign, penetrating complications etc. Differentiating active versus chronic disease on MR.
2) Infections: Emphasis on tuberculosis and features which can help to differentiate Crohn's from tuberculosis.
3) Ischemic enteropathy: Illustrate patterns in acute and chronic ischemia, Vasculitis.
4 NSAID enteropathy , Radiation enteropathy, Narcotic bowel: Patterns of involvement and features to differentiate from other inflammatory disorders
5) Tumours: Adenocarcinoma, carcinoid, lymphoma patterns.
Conclusion
CT and MR enterography is the cornerstone for assessment of the small bowel disease. Recognition of pattern of disease involvement on imaging can be extremely useful to reach a tenable diagnosis and avoid potential misinterpretations.
