Overview

Although computed tomography angiography remains the diagnostic test of choice for mesenteric ischemia. However, there are newer diagnostic studies which can help diagnose mesenteric ischemia at an earlier stage.

Other Diagnostic studies:

  • A few functional studies have been found to be helpful in making the diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia but their clinical role still needs to be established.
