Imaging of Small Bowel Masses
The diagnosis of small-bowel masses, particularly early detection and differential diagnosis, is still somewhat challenging, although many sensitive direct and indirect techniques have been adopted.
CT and MR enterography are an accurate, well-tolerated imaging modalities with which to diagnose or exclude small-bowel masses in symptomatic patients with negative upper and lower endoscopy findings.
Radiologists should therefore be familiar with the appearance of various small-bowel neoplasms and their mimickers.
