Abstract EN
The goal of this study is to prospectively assess the additional value of oblique reformatted images for localizing POT, having surgery as a reference standard.
Materials and Methods.
102 consecutive patients with suspected small bowel obstruction (SBO) underwent 64-slice multidetector row CT (MDCT) using surgical findings as reference standard.
Two independent GI radiologists reviewed the CT scans to localize the exact POT by evaluating axial images (data set A) followed by axial, coronal, and oblique MPR images.
CT findings were compared to surgical findings in terms of diagnostic performance.
McNemar’s test was used to detect any statistical difference in POT evaluation between datasets A and B.
Kappa statistics were applied for measuring agreement between two readers.
Results.
There was a diagnostic improvement of 9.9% in the case of the less experienced radiologist in localizing POT by using oblique reformatted images.
The more experienced radiologist showed diagnostic improvement by 12.9%.
