“…Bowel thickness and mucosal hyperenhancement were the most frequently seen CTE results in the current investigation, occurring in 25 (62.5 %) and 20 (50 %) patients, respectively. Results are in line with earlier research [ 10 ]. It was determined that intestinal diseases might affect the jejunum, ileum, or other colonic segments separately or in various combinations.…”

“…For the purposes of our investigation, the IC junction was regarded as a component of the terminal ileum and the cecum as a component of the large intestine. The most frequently affected section in our research (47.73%) was the ileum, which is consistent with findings from prior investigations [ 10 , 11 ].…”

BackgroundA major development in noninvasive imaging modalities, computed tomographic enterography (CTE) has a number of benefits over conventional computed tomography (CT) and capsule endoscopy. Through the utilization of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) technology, CTE expedites the assessment of small bowel diseases, especially in those segments that are not accessible through traditional endoscopy. This study's main goal is to thoroughly evaluate CTE's diagnostic accuracy for a range of small intestinal conditions. MethodologyIn this investigation, which is a prospective observational study, 40 patients, 25 men and 15 women, with suspected small intestinal disorders and ages ranging from 10 to 70 underwent CTE. To evaluate diagnosis accuracy, a combination of clinical symptoms, imaging data, and histopathological/ultrasonography findings were evaluated. Throughout the research procedure, ethical issues and statistical analysis were incorporated to guarantee validity and adherence to ethical norms. ResultsThe most frequent findings on CTE were bowel thickening and mucosal hyperenhancement, which were seen in 25 (62.5%) and 20 (50%) of the patients, respectively. The majority of patients (65%) exhibited both the ileal and jejunal loops to be adequately distended in grade III. In 35% of the patients, grade II distensibility of the ileal and jejunal loops was seen. ConclusionWhen it comes to accurately detecting small intestinal disorders, CTE is superior. It evaluates extraintestinal, mural, and intraluminal diseases with efficacy, particularly in places that are difficult to reach. It is essential for directing clinical decisions because of its capacity to assess disease activity prior to endoscopy and see consequences.

“…Revision of their histopathological records revealed one IBD, one FMF, one celiac disease, and two neoplastic lesions confirmed to be GIST. This is compared to a study by Misra et al who reported a sensitivity and specificity of MDCTE to be 95.83% and 100% respectively with accuracy of 96.66% in diagnosis of small bowel diseases [16].…”

Background: Because of its unique anatomy, overlap of its loops, and its continuous peristaltic motion, imaging of the small bowel is a big challenge. Non-traumatic abdominal pain of small bowel origin includes a spectrum of medical and surgical conditions ranging from minor to life-threatening conditions. Accurate diagnosis of these diseases is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality. The aim of our study is to assess the role of MDCT enterography in evaluation and diagnosis of different small bowel causes of non-traumatic abdominal pain. Results: Data analysis of 47 patients' files included in this study revealed a high diagnostic accuracy of MDCTE in diagnosing variable small bowel-related pathologies that were confirmed histopathologically. Conclusion: MDCTE can be used as a reliable diagnostic imaging modality for the detection of small bowel diseases. However, operative data and tissue biopsy are still the confirmatory methods for diagnosis.

“…9 The small bowel distension was graded 0-3 (grade 0 was for no distension, while grade 3 was for optimal distension) by grading on the basis of diameters of ileum and jejunum. 11 Poor distension was observed in only 2 of the 107 patients. Most of the causes for symmetric wall thickening along the circumference of the bowel were benign in etiology.…”

Background: Computed tomographic enterography (CTE) is a newer non-invasive modality having distinct advantages over conventional CT and capsule endoscopy. Objectives: This technique allows faster evaluation of small bowel diseases in the endoscopically inaccessible segments. Being an operator-independent procedure, CTE is widely available and allows a better depiction of extra enteric complications. The aim is to evaluate CTE features of various small bowel diseases and the role of 2% mannitol for adequate small bowel distension. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study comprising 105 patients had presented with small bowel diseases. Patients in the age group of 10 to 85 years with complaints of fever, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, altered bowel habits, loss of appetite and loss of weight were included in this study. CTE images were analyzed to compare the diagnosis with the available histopathological and ultrasonography results. Results: Among the study population, the majority had presented CTE features such as symmetrical wall thickening (53.3%), peri-bowel inflammatory changes (61%), mucosal hyperenhancement (39%), and mural stratification, i.e., target sign (33.3%). The majority of diagnoses of CTE were ileocecal tuberculosis (11.5%), small bowel inflammation (7.6%), and Crohn’s disease (6.7%). Other conditions such as small bowel neoplastic masses, diverticula, ischemic bowel disease, bowel strictures, intussusception, and ulcerative colitis. Conclusion: CTE has the vital role of first-line modality in the work-up of suspected small intestinal diseases and helps evaluate disease activity before endoscopy, particularly in inaccessible segments. It allows a better depiction of extra enteric complications of the bowel.
