MR Imaging-based Evaluation of Mesenteric Ischemia Caused by Strangulated Small Bowel Obstruction and Mesenteric Venous Occlusion: An Experimental Study Using Rabbits.

CONCLUSION: Non-contrast MRI can be used to evaluate mesenteric ischemia caused by strangulated SBO and MVO. FS-T2WIs represented the best modality for depicting the high signal intensity in the bowel wall and mesentery caused by ischemia.
