Abstract
CT angiography and MR angiography are the main techniques for the noninvasive diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia. High clinical suspicion and knowledge of the differential diagnostic possibilities in this clinical setting are essential for the correct interpretation of the scans. CT angiography and MR angiography are well suited for the workup of patients when mesenteric ischemia is suspected.
