Imaging for Gastroenterology
4
Feb

Overview

Imaging evaluates inflammatory bowel disease tumors and functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Modalities include ultrasound CT MRI and endoscopic imaging. Imaging guides diagnosis staging and therapeutic planning.

MR Enterography

MR enterography provides detailed evaluation of small bowel inflammation and complications. It avoids ionizing radiation and offers multiparametric assessment. Standardized protocols improve comparability across centers.

CT Enterography

CT enterography offers rapid high resolution assessment of bowel wall and extraluminal complications. Low dose protocols and optimized contrast timing enhance diagnostic yield. It is widely available for acute and chronic disease evaluation.

Endoscopic and Capsule Imaging

Endoscopic imaging provides direct mucosal visualization and biopsy capability. Capsule endoscopy visualizes small bowel mucosa non invasively. Integration of imaging modalities supports comprehensive GI care.

Gastroenterology and Endoscopy

Feb

Overview

GI provides outpatient and inpatient care for digestive disorders with endoscopic diagnostics and therapeutic procedures including ERCP and colonoscopy.

Endoscopy Suites

Dedicated endoscopy units perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures with sedation and sterile technique.

Hepatology and Liver Services

Liver disease management includes imaging guided biopsy antiviral therapy and transplant evaluation when indicated.

IBD and Chronic GI Care

Multidisciplinary clinics manage inflammatory bowel disease functional disorders and nutrition support.

Otolaryngology ENT

Overview

ENT manages airway disorders sinus disease hearing loss and head and neck surgery with clinic based endoscopy and imaging support.

Head and Neck Surgery

Oncologic and reconstructive procedures address tumors trauma and congenital anomalies with multidisciplinary planning.

Audiology and Hearing Services

Hearing assessments hearing aid fitting and cochlear implant coordination support auditory rehabilitation.

Sinus and Airway Care

Endoscopic sinus surgery and airway interventions improve breathing and quality of life with perioperative imaging guidance.

Optical Endoscopy Fluorescence Imaging
4
Feb

Overview

Optical endoscopy with white light and fluorescence enhances mucosal visualization. Targeted fluorescent agents enable molecular imaging during procedures.

Technique

Narrow band imaging autofluorescence and targeted probes increase lesion contrast. Real time visualization guides biopsy and resection.

Clinical Uses

Gastrointestinal and pulmonary endoscopy intraoperative tumor margin assessment and sentinel node mapping.

Limitations and Safety

Agent safety and specificity vary. Interpretation requires training and adjunctive pathology.
