Bowel obstruction is a clinical condition caused by a mechanical or functional blockage preventing normal intestinal content movement. Its symptoms aren’t specific enough to reliably diagnose or identify complications. CT scans are essential for detecting obstruction, pinpointing its location, determining the cause, and identifying complications. This chapter outlines a systematic CT interpretation approach to accurately diagnose bowel obstruction in emergency settings.

摘要

Bowel obstruction is a clinical condition caused by a mechanical or functional blockage preventing normal intestinal content movement. Its symptoms aren’t specific enough to reliably diagnose or identify complications. CT scans are essential for detecting obstruction, pinpointing its location, determining the cause, and identifying complications. This chapter outlines a systematic CT interpretation approach to accurately diagnose bowel obstruction in emergency settings.
