Overview

Duplex ultrasonograghy is often used for the evaluation of abdominal pain. However, in case of mesenteric ischemia its sensitivity is relatively reduced as compared to other radiological tests owing to its limitation by the presence of air-filled distended bowel loops.

Mesenteric ischemia ultrasound

The use of duplex mesenteric ultrasonograghy is implemented more commonly for the diagnosis of non-occlusive mesentric ischemia and more distal emboli.
