Multi-detector CT features of acute intestinal ischemia and their prognostic correlations

Figure 2 Venous mesenteric ischemia. A and B: Transverse computed tomography (CT) scans; C and D: Coronal MPR reconstructions. Bowel ischemia caused by the occlusion of the superior mesenteric vein (short arrows). The target sign with concentric bowel wall thickening is well evident (long arrows). Ascites is associated (arrowheads); E and F: Transverse CT scans; G and H: Coronal curved multiplanar reconstructions. Bowel ischemia caused by the occlusion of the superior mesenteric vein (long arrows). The target sign with concentric bowel wall thickening is well evident (short arrows). Ascites is associated (arrowheads).
