CT ENTEROCLYSIS / CT ENTEROGRAPHY FOR DIFFERENTIATING INTESTINAL TUBERCULOSIS FROM CROHN’S DISEASE

CT Enterography in Crohn disease

PET/CT enterography in Crohn disease: correlation of disease activity on CT enterography with 18F-FDG uptake.

UNLABELLED We combined (18)F-FDG PET and CT enterography in a single examination and compared the level of (18)F-FDG uptake measured by maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) with the CT enterography patterns of disease activity found in patients with Crohn disease (CD). METHODS Twenty-eight patients (mean age, 37.5 y; 11 male and 17 female) suspected of having active CD underwent PET/CT ...

Denoising CT Enterography on GPU

CT enterography is a method of contrast enhanced diagnosis of small intestine from computed tomography examination. However, unlike the bones or other significant structures, automatic or semiautomatic examination of small intestine is almost impossible without the proper use of a denoising algorithm. We cannot wait for hours for a simple denoising algorithm in medical praxis, but current GPUs ...

Differential diagnosis between Crohn's disease and intestinal tuberculosis using integrated parameters including clinical manifestations, T-SPOT, endoscopy and CT enterography.

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to evaluate clinical manifestations, T-SPOT, endoscopy and CT enterography to differentiate Crohn's disease (CD) from intestinal tuberculosis (ITB). METHODS 128 in patients with suspected CD and ITB were prospectively enrolled in the study. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, endoscopic and CT enterographic data were collected. After treatment for 6 months, ...

CT enterography: principles, technique and utility in Crohn's disease.

CT enterography is a modification of conventional CT technique optimized for the evaluation of small bowel. This technique utilizes multidetector scanners with high spatial and temporal resolution; multiplanar reconstructions; and large volumes of enteric contrast to provide bowel distension. This article discusses the essential principles of the exam and its use in the evaluation of Crohn's di...
