title: Imaging of abdominal complications associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
abstract: Complications associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are common and frequently involve the gastrointestinal tract and other abdominal organs. Imaging is often used to help to confirm or exclude a suspected complication and to facilitate management. In this article, we review the imaging findings of abdominal complications related to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
