MR enteroclysis did not reveal any intestinal abnormalities in this patient group.
2
Capsule endoscopy was only performed if magnetic resonance enteroclysis showed no high-grade small bowel stenosis.
3
Methods: Thirty-two patients who had 64-section CT enteroclysis and VCE because of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding were included.
4
Balloon-assisted enteroscopy was significantly favored over magnetic resonance enteroclysis for insertion of the scope and procedure duration.
5
Conclusion: Capsule endoscopy was preferred to magnetic resonance enteroclysis and balloon-assisted enteroscopy; it also had the lowest burden.
6
Subjects and methods: At our institution, 44 patients with symptoms of suspected gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors underwent CT enteroclysis.
7
Conclusion: Our meta-analysis confirms that helical CT-enteroclysis has high degrees of sensitivity and specificity for small-bowel tumour detection.
8
Results: CT enteroclysis findings were positive in 19 patients and negative in 25 patients.
9
Results: All pathological findings on conventional enteroclysis were shown correctly with MRI after enteroclysis and MRI after oral contrast only.
10
Conclusion: CT enteroclysis should be considered an excellent tool for the diagnosis of the carcinoid tumor before any surgical procedures.
11
Objective: To perform a meta-analysis to determine sensitivity and specificity estimates of helical CT-enteroclysis in the detection of small-bowel tumours.
12
Conclusion: Our results suggest that 64-section CT enteroclysis and VCE have similar overall diagnostic yields in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.
13
The negative predictive value of CT enteroclysis was 100% and the positive predictive value, 94.7%.
14
Sixty-four-section CT enteroclysis provides suggestive features that help determine the actual nature of a small bowel tumor in a large number of cases.
15
The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic yield of WCE with MR enteroclysis in the detection of small bowel pathologies.
16
Background and aims: Small bowel MR enteroclysis and wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) are new diagnostic tools for the investigation of the small bowel.
