Introduction. The relevance of the study is caused by the difficulties in diagnosing diseases of the small bowel (SB). Due to the prevalence and widespread introduction of X-ray computed tomography (CT) into clinical practice, its capabilities in the diagnosis of small bowel diseases are of great interest and potential. Objective. to reveal the possibilities of computed tomography using intravenous bolus contrast enhancement in identifying the symptom of wall thickening of the small bowel and its prognostic significance in various nosologies. Methods. Analysis of the data from MSCT studies performed according to the Protocol for the study of abdominal organs using intravenous bolus contrast enhancement and oral water intake in adult patients from 18 to 87 years of age with small bowel diseases. Results. The article shows the possibilities of multispiral computed tomography performed according to the standard Protocol in detecting thickening of the SB wall. The range of diseases was determined for which thickening of the SB wall was one of the main radiological symptoms of the lesion. The prognostic significance of this radiological symptom is presented. The features of thickening of the intestinal wall in various diseases and other distinctive features that can be used in the differential diagnosis are described. Conclusion. Thickening of the wall is a common sign of SB damage, which is convincingly detected in CT studies with bolus contrast enhancement. In our study, the common causes of thickening of the SB wall in primary disease were: Crohn's disease (37%), lymphoma (20%) and anastomosis (13%). However, we determined thickening of the SB wall as a result of primary tumors (adenocarcinoma, sarcoma) in 7% and as a result of a secondary tumor lesion in 18.6% of cases. The considered diseases were different in the degree of thickening of the intestinal wall (from 6 to 70 mm), its spreading (focal thickening 48%; segmental 52%), number of affected areas (from 1 to 3) of their localization (proximal-middle or distal section), form of the transition area from the affected part of the intestine to the unchanged one (sharply defined or smooth), the presence or absence of symptoms of intestinal obstruction, and the features of contrast enhancement (severity and type).

BACKGROUND Small bowel imaging often questions clinicians due to its long, tortuous and undulating morphology. The current study was undertaken to establish the efficacy of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) enterography in the evaluation of small bowel diseases using iso-osmotic mannitol as oral contrast agent. METHODS A prospective observational study was conducted among thirty patients (mean age 40 years; range 14 - 66 years), 16 males and 14 females presenting with clinical suspicion of small bowel diseases based on clinical, laboratory or other imaging investigations underwent CT enterography on a 128 slice CT scanner using isoosmotic mannitol as neutral enteral contrast. RESULTS Intestinal tuberculosis was the most common diagnosis. Non neoplastic cases predominantly showed segmental symmetrical involvement with target pattern of enhancement. Small bowel tumours (adenocarcinoma) were seen in 2 cases. Neoplasms were associated with focal asymmetrical involvement with heterogeneous enhancement pattern. Computerized tomography enterography (CTE) clearly depicted the site, level and cause of the obstruction in all the patients with a sensitivity and specificity of 96 % and 100 % respectively. Diagnostic accuracy of CTE in detection of small bowel diseases came out to be 98 %. CONCLUSIONS CT enterography is an effectual, non-invasive, well-tolerated, sensitive and specific imaging modality for the evaluation of small bowel diseases which provides superior assessment of the intraluminal, mural and extraintestinal pathologies.
