3. CT can be helpful in the differentiation of intestinal disease. Important features to look for are: Enhancement pattern Length of involvement Degree of mural thickening Mesenteric changes Lumen contents

15.  Spectrum of CT findings in various etiologic factors were described and correlated with clinical finding and other imaging modalities.  CT plays a pivotal role in diagnosis, management and staging in malignant lesion.  CT findings were well correlated with the histopathology in our study series.
