Abstract:

The advent of volumetric helical computed tomography (CT), coupled with the almost universal use of oral and intravenous contrast agents, has resulted in CT becoming the diagnostic and therapeutic cornerstone for alimentary tract disease. Recent technical advances, further enhanced by innovative software developments, now permit multiplanar and endoluminal projections of the entire abdomen, and have resulted in the development of novel diagnostic applications in the abdomen.
