Abstract

Copyright © American Roentgen Ray SocietyOBJECTIVE: We evaluated the use of MDCT in the diagnosis and management of lower gastrointestinal bleeding (hematochezia). CONCLUSION: MDCT is proposed as an alternative first-line investigation to locate lower gastrointestinal bleeding before placing the patient under observation or performing embolization or surgery.Khimseng Tew, Roger P.
