Overview
Among patients with ischemic colitis, the CT scan shows mild to moderate diffuse bowel wall thickening and marked hyperenhancement of the mucosa.
CT
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]
