Overview
The CT scan shows mild to moderate diffuse small-bowel thickening and marked hyperenhancement of the mucosa.
Diagnosis
CT scans are often used in the evaluation of abdominal pain and rectal bleeding, and may suggest the diagnosis of ischemic colitis, pick up complications, or suggest an alternate diagnosis.[1][2][3]
