Computed tomography of the intestinal tract, usage, advantages and disadvantages of this metod
SMOLÁKOVÁ, Eva
In presented essay author tries to offer comprehensive overview of possibilities of computer tomography (CT) in examination of the intestinal tract at her radiologic department. Introduction of Multidetector CT represents outstanding advance in spatial resolution in z - axis and accelerated data acquisition wihout increase of radiation dose. All these advantages of Multidetector CT project strongly onto examination of the intestines. At author´s department CT enterography and CT colonography replaced to the background classic methods as irrigoscopy and enteroclysis. The feasibility of assessment of the intestinal tract and other abdominal organs at the same time is the most significant contribution of this method. At our department we note progressive decrease of number of enteroclysis examinations since the year 2003. Limitations of this method are radiation exposure, intravenous application of iodine contrast medium and impossibility to obtain specimens for histologic examination. We expect, that future technologies will reduce some of these disadvantages.
