The Mesenteric Ischemia Service offers imaging of the mesenteric vasculature—both arteries and veins supplying the intestines—to help detect conditions that could restrict blood flow and lead to ischemia. This service provides imaging that may assist in evaluating atherosclerosis, thrombosis, occlusions, compression, or trauma, which healthcare providers can use to diagnose the specific causes of ischemia and plan timely interventions.

Utilizing Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) and Curved Planar Reformation (CPR), our imaging techniques are designed to enhance diagnostic clarity. MIP highlights the brightest signals within scans to detect calcifications or blockages, essential for identifying potential ischemic triggers. CPR unfolds the vascular anatomy into a single image, offering a comprehensive view that aids in detecting lesions or occlusions along the mesenteric arteries.
