Các mảng rộng lớn của kỹ thuật hình ảnh có sẵn để các bác sĩ ngày nay cho phép "tùy biến" của hình ảnh chụp ảnh phóng xạ cho bệnh nhân viêm ruột đặc biệt. Mặc dù X quang tiêu chuẩn được sử dụng để cung cấp một "Gestalt" ban đầu trong việc đánh giá của một bệnh nhân bị bệnh không rõ hoặc cấp tính | 104 MacEneaney and Gasparaitis SUMMARY The vast array of imaging techniques available to today s physicians allows for customization of radiographic imaging for particular inflammatory bowel patients. Although standard radiographs are used to provide an initial gestalt in the evaluation of a patient with unknown or acute disease contrast-based studies are invaluable in providing more details especially in the evaluation of strictures and of the small bowel an area out of the reach of traditional endoscopy . More in-depth studies of the bowel wall and its environs or areas involved with fistulas by CT MRI or US provide a unique perspective and radionucleotide studies may be helpful in locating areas of inflammation not seen by other approaches. New techniques combining technologies with CT or MRI and enteroclysis have provided stunning new insights into the evaluation of these elusive diseases and will likely become more readily practiced and available in the future.
