Abstract

Multiphase CT enterography is a modification of conventional abdominal CT designed to optimize detection of abnormalities responsible for obscure GI bleeding. This imaging test appears to be complimentary to wireless capsule endoscopy in the evaluation of this difficult group of patients. A description of exam technique, findings, and discussion of results will be presented in this article.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
