Overview
CT enterography uses neutral oral contrast and multiphase acquisition to detect inflammation tumors and complications of the small bowel.
Acquisition Technique
Use thin collimation portal venous phase imaging with optional arterial phase for hypervascular lesions and enteric distension with neutral oral contrast.
Dose and Reconstruction
Apply dose modulation iterative reconstruction and thin slice multiplanar reformats for optimal lesion detection.
Clinical Use
Indicated for Crohn disease activity assessment tumor detection and acute complication evaluation such as perforation or obstruction.
