Misleading interpretation of distended post-op bowel images in Helical CT scan.

چکیده
Differential diagnosis of distended post-op colon can be misleading when based solely to imaging findings. A case report of an artefact giving the impression of faecal leak or foreign body (gossypiboma) in Spiral Computerized Tomography after colonic surgery is presented. The patient was managed conservatively due to the lack of clinical evidence of abdominal emergency, A second CT scan twenty days later revealed no findings besides minor colonic diverticulas.

متن کاملFast Variance Prediction for Iterative Reconstruction of 3D Helical CT Images
Fast variance prediction for iteratively-reconstructed helical CT images is useful for analysis of resulting images and potentially for dynamic dose adjustment during a scan. Previous methods require impractical computation times to approximate the image variance; other methods are able to approximate variance quickly but only for specific CT geometries, excluding 3D helical CT. In this paper w...
