Imaging findings of radiation enteritis

J Med Liban. 2004 Jan-Mar;52(1):55-7.

Abstract

In this report the authors describe the imaging features of subacute and chronic radiation enteritis in two patients. Although surgery remains the definitive treatment of complicated chronic radiation enteritis, the potential role of interventional techniques that can be used for management of poor surgical candidates is discussed.
