Radiographic appearance of the mesentery and peritoneum

J. Calvin Coffey, Martin Shelly

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The radiologic appearance of the mesenteric organ distal to the duodenojejunal flexure requires reappraisal in view of recent clarifications in structure. In completing one such appraisal on the CT appearance, a radiologic atlas was developed for reference in normality. This provides a reference against which the radiologic appearance of intraabdominal disease can be compared. Future studies should aim to interpret the appearance of intra-abdominal disease based on comparisons with this standard.
