  • Title: Acute bowel ischemia: CT findings.
    Author: Angelelli G, Scardapane A, Memeo M, Stabile Ianora AA, Rotondo A.
    Journal: Eur J Radiol; 2004 Apr; 50(1):37-47. PubMed ID: 15093234.
    Abstract:
    Acute bowel ischemia represents one of the most dramatic abdominal emergencies and, despite the fact it is more and more frequently observed in clinical practice, its mortality rate remains very high. In recent years Computed Tomography (CT) has proved to be a valid diagnostic tool in the evaluation of patients with acute abdominal syndrome and in the visualization of early signs of bowel ischemia. This paper reviews the aetiological and pathophysiological aspects as well as a broad spectrum of CT findings of this clinical condition.
