Intestinal pseudotumors: a problem in abdominal computed tomography solved by directed techniques.
Differentiation of normal bowel loops from pathologic process by computed tomography is often difficult. Techniques are described for opacification of bowel loops via oral, rectal, and colostomy administration of contrast material. Examples of abdominal and pelvic pseudotumors which were proven not to be pathologic lesions are presented. By following simple techniques of bowel marking, one can avoid false positive diagnoses.
