Tew K, Davies RP, Jadun CK, Kew J.

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the use of MDCT in the diagnosis and management of lower gastrointestinal bleeding (hematochezia).

CONCLUSION: MDCT is proposed as an alternative first-line investigation to locate lower gastrointestinal bleeding before placing the patient under observation or performing embolization or surgery.
