Inter-reader agreement of CT features of acute mesenteric ischemia

ConclusionInter-reader agreement was moderate to substantial for most CT features of AMI. Multiphasic CT scan protocol, including unenhanced, arterial phase and venous phase images, without positive oral contrast agent, and excellent CT images quality improve inter-observer agreement of imaging features of AMI, especially for decreased/absent bowel wall enhancement, and should be performed in patients with suspected AMI.
