Multiparametric ultrasound in the diagnosis and monitoring of ischemic colitis: description of a case of ischemic colitis of the right colon and revision of the literature

摘要

Multiparametric US of the ascending colon. a Color Doppler US, longitudinal scan, shows wall thickening with poor vascular signals. b The same portion of the colon: PW Doppler US evidences continuous flow. c Color and PW Doppler US focused on the celiac trunk shows focal aliasing (arrow) near the origin of the vessel arising from the aorta and an abnormal velocitogram with systolic peak velocity > 454 cm/s. d Color Doppler US shows occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (arrowhead) where it arises from the abdominal aorta and revascularization in the adjacent portion (arrow)
