Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults with acute mesenteric ischemia to see if a special way of reading CT scans can help identify salvageable bowel. Participants will have a CT scan of their abdomen with contrast media to assess the condition of their bowel.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I am a participant in the AMESI study
- I have confirmed or suspected acute mesenteric ischemia
- I have a CT scan of my entire abdomen using contrast media
You may not be able to join if
- I have a CT scan that did not use contrast media
- I have a CT scan that only covered part of my abdomen

About This Trial
Computed tomography (CT) is the standard modality for scanning patients with critical acute abdominal conditions, including suspected acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI). CT imaging can potentially differentiate between reversible and irreversible ischaemic damage of the bowel. This moment is pivotal in selecting the treatment strategy for AMI - in the absence of irreversible damage; reperfusion thera…
