Abstract
Recent advances in multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) technology have enabled the production of high-resolution diagnostic images of the visceral vessels. The potential of MDCT in relation to splanchnic artery pathology is still being realized, but it already provides a credible quick, non-invasive, low-dose alternative to digital subtraction angiography. A variety of categories of splanchnic artery pathology are demonstrated, including stenosis and occlusion (due to extrinsic compression, mural thrombus, and atherosclerosis), aneurysms, dissection, and haemorrhage.
