| Popis: | C T enteroclysis is a method of examination in which contrast material is infused through a nasoenteric tube and contiguous axial images are obtained after total opacification of a moderately distended small intestine [ 1-3] (Fig. I). CT enteroclysis was introduced to overcome the individual deficiencies ofCT and enteroclysis and to combine the advantages of both into one technique. Distention of the small bowel and cross-sectional imaging are proven imaging principles used with CT enteroclysis. We review the literature, discuss possible clinical indications for CT enteroclysis, and identify research fronts for this method of examination. |
