    Notes: Abstract. US, portal venous phase CT, and MRI-CSE (MRI with conventional spin-echo sequence) findings in three cases of hepatic involvement in hypereosinophilic syndrome are presented. These showed varied imaging findings, but portal venous phase CT showed multiple, poorly marginated, and hypodense hepatic lesions in all three cases. The result suggested that portal venous phase CT is the optimal method for depicting hepatic involvement.

    Notes: Abstract Background: To investigate radiologic and pathological features of intestinal tuberculosis with abdominal complications. Methods: Twenty-two patients with 23 surgically proven complications (nine intestinal obstructions, eight perforations, three fistulae, and three intestinal bleeds) were analyzed. Medical records, radiologic studies, and pathologic examinations were reviewed with special emphasis on searching for the common features in each group of complication. Results: The most important single feature in seven of the nine patients with intestinal obstruction was the presence of stricture. In the remaining two patients, bowel adhesion was a primary cause of obstruction. In eight patients with intestinal perforation, both obstruction and ulcerations in the dilated proximal loop were the important features in six, and multiple deep ulcerations without obstruction was a primary cause in the remaining two. The common features in three patients with fistulae were focal or multiple strictures, severe adhesions, and fibrotic bowel wall. Intestinal bleeding originated from diffuse mucosal ulcerations. The abdominal complications occurred during antituberculous therapy in 10 of the 22 patients. Conclusion: Understanding the radiologic and pathologic features of intestinal tuberculosis with complications help in making an appropriate clinical decision for the treatment strategy. Close observation is necessary, especially in those patients who are acutely ill during antituberculous medical therapy.

    Colonic wall thickening in cirrhotic patients: CT features and its clinical significance (1999)

    Notes: Abstract Background: To evaluate the computed tomographic (CT) features of colonic wall thickening in cirrhotic patients and to determine their prognostic value. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 28 cirrhotic patients with colonic wall thickening (≥10 mm) on CT. Twenty-six of the 28 patients had hepatocellular carcinoma. The severity of hepatic dysfunction was determined by using the Child–Pugh classification. We analyzed the patterns of bowel wall thickening and degree of portal hypertension on CT and the survival periods after initial CT detection of colonic wall thickening. Results: The involved segment of the colon was diffusely thickened with either scalloped or nodular circumferential configuration. In all patients, the thickened colonic wall enhanced poorly. Although the ascending colon was involved in all patients, the transverse (n= 14) or descending (n= 5) colon was also simultaneously involved. Most patients exhibited an advanced stage of portal hypertension on CT. The median survival period of 25 patients who expired was 34 days, and 21 patients (84%) expired within 3 months. Conclusions: Colonic wall thickening on CT can be used as one of the indicators of poor prognosis in cirrhotic patients. Advanced liver cirrhosis with significantly severe dysfunction is the likely cause of mortality. Therefore, a less aggressive therapeutic approach is recommended if hepatocellular carcinoma is coexistent in these patients.

    Use of methylcellulose in small bowel follow-through examination: comparison with conventional series in normal subjects (1998)

    Notes: Abstract. Background: To evaluate and optimize a modified small bowel follow-through examination (SBFT) by using an oral administration of a large amount (600 mL) of methylcellulose after taking a small amount of barium. Methods: Ninety-nine normal subjects underwent modified SBFT with an oral administration of 600 mL of 0.5% methylcellulose after taking 100 mL of 120% or 100, 150, or 200 mL of 70% w/v barium. The transradiancy and distensibility of the bowel and the transit time were compared with those of 39 other normal subjects who underwent conventional SBFT with 500 mL of 70% w/v barium. Results: Except for two subjects who developed diarrhea immediately after examination, no patients complained of acute symptoms, such as abdominal pain or vomiting. Modified SBFT was much superior to conventional series for obtaining good bowel transradiancy and rapid transit time (range = 37–49 min), but bowel distention was not significantly improved. The use of 150 mL of 70% w/v barium was better than the other three modified techniques for achieving good bowel transradiancy, rapid transit time, and less occurrence of flocculation. Conclusion: Modified SBFT is a simple method for easily improving the image quality in terms of bowel transradiancy and transit time.

    Notes: Abstract We report the imaging findings of spiral computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and MR angiography in a patient with nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver associated with Budd–Chiari syndrome. Spiral CT showed multiple enhancing nodules during the hepatic arterial and portal venous phases. MR images showed multiple hyperintense nodules on T1-weighted images and hypointense or isointense nodules on T2-weighted images. MR angiography showed thrombotic occlusion of three hepatic veins, suggesting Budd–Chiari syndrome.

    Notes: Abstract The pathophysiology of strangulating small bowel obstruction and the limitations of known CT criteria of strangulation are reviewed. The concept of coronal mapping of the course of the superior mesenteric vessels based on axial abdominal CT in order to aid the radiologic diagnosis of intestinal strangulation is introduced.
