Hi,
To the question “Which technique evaluates the small bowel wall and the corresponding mesenteric structures? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
To evaluate the small intestine wall and corresponding mesenteric structures, there are many methods. Ultrasound and computed tomography are two commonly used methods, in which contrast-enhanced computed tomography is the method with high diagnostic value.
