title: CT enteroclysis: techniques and applications.
abstract: CT enteroclysis overcomes the individual deficiencies of both barium enteroclysis and conventional CT and combines the advantages of both into one technique whose clinical applicability has been simplified and made more reliable with multidetector CT technology. This article examines the techniques of CT enteroclysis and presents an overview of its clinical applications relative to other methods of small bowel imaging.
