Overview
CT scan may help in the detection of certain rare causes of acute diarrhea such as inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal lymphoma, carcinoid syndrome, and other neuroendocrine tumors.
CT scan
- Computed tomography is performed in patients to detect less common causes of acute diarrhea such as inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal lymphoma, carcinoid syndrome, and other neuroendocrine tumors.
- Findings on CT abdomen for IBD include:
- Skip lesions
- Bowel wall thickening
- Surrounding inflammation, abscess, and fistulae[1][2]
