Role of magnetic resonance in bowel pathologies: Beyond inflammatory bowel disease

Figure 10  Mesenteric ischemia secondary to superior mesenteric vein thrombosis. A: T2-weighted fat-saturated axial magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen demonstrating diffuse ascending and transverse colon wall thickening, submucosal edema and pericolonic free fluid at the level of the hepatic flexure; B: T2-weighted post-contrast fat-saturated axial image demonstrating occlusive thrombus in the superior mesenteric vein (orange arrow). Findings are concordant with wet ischemia secondary to superior mesenteric vein thrombosis.
