Objective To investigate the role of contrast-enhanced multislice computed tomography (MSCT) in the patients with intestinal tuberculosis. Methods 34 patients with intestinal tuberculosis were selected for this study on the basis of clinical and radiological criteria. Meanwhile, the biopsy was used as standard for confirming the diseases in all patients of our study. Comparing the results between contrast-enhanced MSCT and biopsy, the point is to analysis the diagnostic accuracy of the intestinal tuberculosis by MSCT. Results In all the patients, the diseases were respectively located at ileocecal junction (28), ascending colon (9), transverse colon (6), descending colon (5) and sigmoid colon (5). Biopsy features show 30 cases with a final diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis by biopsy, 2 cases with colon cancer, 1 case with crohn disease and 1 case with ulcerative colitis. Conclusion contrast-enhanced MSCT may play a crucial role for diagnosing intestinal tuberculosis.
