OBJECTIVE: To compare the diagnostic capabilities between capsule endoscopy (CE) and multislice CT (MSCT) enterography in combination with MSCT angiography for assessment of @entity360 ( @entity360 ). METHODS: A total of 127 @entity1 with @entity360 were looked at in this study. 82 @entity1 (aged 42.7        19.1 years; 34 males) were assigned to receive MSCT diagnosis and 67 @entity1 to (aged 53.9        16.2 years; 28 males) receive CE diagnosis. Among them, 22 @entity1 (aged 54.1        19.1 years; 12 males) received both examinations. Oral isotonic @entity2656 and intramuscular injection of @entity26108 were performed; non-ionic contrast ( @entity16940 , 370   mg   I   ml(-1)) was intravenously administered; and then multiphase scanning was conducted at arterial, small intestinal and portal venous phases in MSCT. The results were compared with findings of reference standards including double balloon enteroscopy, digital subtraction angiography, intraoperative pathological examination and/or clinical diagnosis. RESULTS: Administration of @entity26108 markedly increased the satisfaction rate of bowel filling (94.67% vs 28.57%; p   <   0.001) but not the diagnostic yield (p   =   0.293) of MSCT. Compared with MSCT, CE showed an improved overall diagnostic yield (68.66% vs 47.56%; p   =   0.010), which was also observed in overt @entity548 @entity1 (i.e. @entity1 with continued passage of visible blood) (76.19% vs 51.02%; p   =   0.013) and in @entity1 aged younger than 40 years of age (85% vs 51.28%; p   =   0.024). However, CE had similar positive rates to MSCT (p   >   0.05). Among the 22 cases in whom both examinations were conducted, CE showed no significantly different diagnostic capability compared with MSCT (p   =   0.4597). CONCLUSION: Both CE and MSCT are safe and effective diagnostic methods for @entity360 . ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: CE is preferred for overt @entity548 or @entity1 aged younger than 40 years. The combined use of CE and MSCT is recommended in @entity360 diagnosis.
