Supports MRI for rare aortic tumors in mesenteric embolism; leaves open routine adoption pending prospective data.
Does magnetic resonance imaging effectively diagnose and determine the extent of primary aortic tumors causing mesenteric infarction?
Primary aortic tumors should be considered as a potential source of emboli in acute mesenteric insufficiency, and MRI is an effective diagnostic tool for evaluating these tumors.
Higgins et al. (1991) studied this question. Magnetic resonance imaging is effective in diagnosing and localizing primary aortic tumors, which are a potential source of emboli leading to acute mesenteric insufficiency.
