Abstract Objective: To investigate the value of multi-slice CT enterography(MSCTE) in intestinal diseases. Methods: Helical CT scans were performed in 36 patients before and after infusion of contrast medium. Before CT examination, all patients were injected 10~20mg 654-2 to minimize bowel movement then took administered iso-osmotic mannitol to fill the bowl. Multiplanar reformation(MPR), maximum intensity projection(MIP) were carried out. Results: Among 14 cases of intestinal neoplasms, there were 4 cases of adenocarcinoma, 6 cases of stromal tumor, 2 cases of lymphoma, 1 case of adenoma and 1 case of carcinoid tumor, 3 cases of Crohn’s diseases, and 3 cases of postoperative adhesion. The others were normal. Conclusion: MSCTE using biphasic enhancing and 3D-image reconstruction techniques was valuable for intestinal diseases.
