Small-Bowel Obstruction: CT Features with Plain Film and US correlations

Description

The aim of this radiological atlas is to connect pathophysiology to imaging using many illustrations and examples, emphasizing the capabilities and limitations of multidetector computed tomography and its role in the correct management approach to these disorders. Furthermore, the place of allied imaging modalities (plain film and ultrasound) in the clinical algorithm is comprehensively illustrated.Table of ContentsCoverSmall-Bowel Obstruction CT Features with Plain Film and USCorrelationsISBN 9788847006669 eISBN 9788847006676Foreword to the English EditionForeword to the Italian EditionTable of ContentsList of ContributorsIntroduction1 Formation Mechanisms SBO by Obturation SBO by Narrowing SBO by Compression SBO by Blockage Blockage by Adhesional Band Blockage by Tenting Adhesions Blockage by Extensive Adhesions SBO by Intussusception Cold Intussusception Incomplete and Reversible Hot Intussusception Complete and Irreversible Hot Intussusception SBO by Large-Bowel Obstruction SBO by Intestinal Strangling and Strangulation Complex Mechanisms Volvulus Closed Loop2 Computed Tomography Imaging Pathophysiology Simple SBO Decompensated SBO Complicated SBO Vascular Changes due to Strangling and Strangulation Vascular Changes due to Fight Common Aspects of Loop Vascular Changes3 Computed Tomography Features Examination Technique CT Findings Simple SBO Bowel Images (Figs. 3.1-3.6) Decompensated SBO Bowel and Peritoneal Cavity Images (Figs. 3.7-3.15) Follow-up Complicated SBO due to Strangling and Strangulation Thickened Bowel and Mesentery Images (Figs. 3.16-3.26) Complicated SBO due to Fight Thickened Bowel Images (Figs. 3.27 and 3.28)4 Sonographic Correlations5 Radiological Correlations Examination Technique Uncooperative Patient LL Radiograph in the Supine Position (Scheme 5.1) AP Radiograph in the Supine Position (Scheme 5.2) Cooperative Patient PA Radiograph in the Prone Position (Scheme 5.3) PA Radiograph in the Upright Position (Scheme 5.4) Acute Intestinal Behaviours Reflex Spastic Ileus Reflex Hypotonic Ileus Paralytic Ileus Mechanical IleusSelected Readings
