title: CT of the small bowel and mesentery.
abstract: The detection and definition of small bowel pathology is a frequent clinical and radiologic problem. Although contrast radiography and enteroclysis are the primary means of evaluating the small bowel, computed tomography (CT) has become increasingly important as a complementary examination. Initial diagnoses proffered by barium studies may be further characterized by CT and this additional information may have significant impact on patient management.
