This course covers varied aspects of bowel imaging which will give the participant a comprehensive overview of different bowel pathologies. It covers imaging of the bowel in the emergency room, bowel ischemia, Crohn disease, bowel neoplasms, postoperative imaging, CT colonography, and role of molecular imaging in bowel pathologies. All modalities including fluoroscopy, CT, MR, and molecular imaging are discussed.
