CT Enteroclysis and Its Uses

In blog article, we will discuss the uses of CT Enteroclysis and some common questions related to CT Enteroclysis.

Enteroclysis CT (computed tomography) or CT scan Enteroclysis is non-invasive radiological tool which uses X-rays for the detection of abnormalities in the bowel or small intestine. CT Enteroclysis is the procedure that uses X-rays with computer technology to create 3D images of the bowel for the detection of abnormalities and the surrounding tissues. These images are more detailed and clear which help to detect the abnormalities early and easily. There are various conditions which can be detected by CT Enteroclysis scan these conditions include bowel infection, obstruction, blockage, inflammation and tumors in the bowel.

What is Enteroclysis CT?

Enteroclysis CT (Computed Tomography) is the non invasive diagnostic technique which uses X-rays for the detection of abnormalities in the bowel and associated area. CT Enteroclysis is diagnostic tool like MRI and PET CT and this procedure helps to capture the cross sectional images of the colon and rectum. Various abnormalities detected by CT Enteroclysis include polyps, blockage in the bowel, tumors in bowel, inflammation, infection, Crohn’s disease etc.

What is Enteroclysis CT with contrast (CECT Enteroclysis)?

Enteroclysis CT with contrast is the advanced procedure of the simple CT Enteroclysis. In contrast CT, iodine based contrast is used for the detection of abnormalities in the bowel and surrounding area. Contrast used CT procedure give more clear images of small bowel and associated area and helps to generate images with more clarity. This helps in easy and early detection of small bowel abnormalities and diseases for effective and early treatment.

What are the Uses of CT Enteroclysis?

There are various uses of Enteroclysis CT scan and these uses include:

To look for blockage bowel
To look for the cancers in the bowel
To look for tumors in the bowel
Inflammation in the small intestine and associated area
To look for the condition of bowel before going for the treatment
To look for the reason of internal bleeding in bowel
To look for small bowel obstructions
To look for injuries and trauma in the bowel

Which tests are used to check for the Enteroclysis abnormalities?

There are various types of tests used to check for Enteroclysis abnormalities and these include:

Comprehensive colorectal Panel (Book Now)
CT Enteroclysis (Book Now)

Conclusion

Enteroclysis CT (computed tomography) is the diagnostic tool used for the detection of abnormalities in the bowel diseases and associated tissues. There are various uses of CT Enteroclysis like detection of tumor in bowel and associated areas. The process uses X-rays with computer technology and takes the pictures at various angles for clarity and with more description to get the condition of bowel and surrounding areas. CT Enteroclysis is also done with the contrast material, this is also called CECT Enteroclysis or contrast enhanced computed tomography.
