Abstract
The Mesenteric Small Intestine Is The Most Challenging Segment Of The Alimentary Tube To Examine Diagnostically Because Of Its Length, Caliber And Overlap Of Loops Within The Peritoneal Cavity. Barium Enteroclysis Examination Has Been Shown To Overcome Most Of The Inherent Limitations Of The Small Bowel To Follow Through And Is The More Reliable Of The Conventional Contrast Methods Of Radiographic Examination [1]. Experience With Computed Tomography (CT) Has Shown That The Enteroclysis Method Of Examination Fails To Show Important Extraintestinal Manifestations Of Small Bowel Disease [2]. Computed Tomography Enteroclysis (CTE) Is A Method Of Examining The Small Intestine, Which Combines The Advantages Of Enteral Volume Challenge And The Ability Of Cross-Sectional Imaging And Reformatting To Depict Extra Intestinal Manifestations Of The Disease [3]. It Is Used Selectively To Answer Specific Questions Concerning The Small Bowel. The Ability Of Multislice CT Machines To Image Larger Volumes At A Faster Speed With The Ability To Perform Reconstruction After The Examination, Has Made CTE A More Feasible Extension Of The Conventional Barium Enteroclysis And CT Methods Of Examining The Small Intestine.
