Advancing medical technology revolutionizes our ability to diagnose various disease processes. Conventional Single-Energy Computed Tomography (SECT) has multiple inherent limitations for providing definite diagnoses in certain clinical contexts. Dual-Energy (DECT) been use since 2006 and constantly evolved applications assist radiologists reaching SECT is rather unable identify. DECT may also complement the role of by supporting confidently make clinically challenging scenarios. In this...

Intestinal ischemia is an abdominal emergency that accounts for approximately 2% of gastrointestinal illnesses. It represents a complex diseases caused by impaired blood perfusion to the small and/or large bowel including acute arterial mesenteric (AAMI), venous (AVMI), non occlusive (NOMI), ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R), ischemic colitis (IC). In this study different methods (US, CT) will be correlated in detection imaging findings due various etiologies. Basing on experience our...

Ischemic colitis (IC) is the most common vascular disorder of gastrointestinal tract with a reported incidence 6.1-44 cases/100,000 person years confirmatory histopathology. However, true IC poses some difficulty, and even vigilant clinicians patients at high risk often miss diagnosis, since clinical presentation non-specific or could have mild transient nature. Detection results crucial to plan correct therapeutic approach reduce mortality rate (4-12%). Diagnosis based on combination...

Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) have helped to improve the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosis and treatment diseases. There are currently nine different commercially available gadolinium-based that can be used body MRI cases, which classifiable according their structures (cyclic or linear) biodistribution (extracellular-space agents, target/specific-agents, blood-pool agents). The aim this review is illustrate effect on imaging, adverse reaction body, with goal...

To define the evolution of ischemic lesions with 7T magnetic resonance imaging (7T-MRI) in an animal model acute colonic ischemia.Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two groups. Group I underwent inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) ligation followed by macroscopic observations and histological analysis. In group II, 7T-MRI was performed before after IMA analysis.Morphological alterations started to develop 1 h ligation, when pale areas became evident splenic flexure mesentery...
