Mesenteric ischemia: a major abdominal emergency

Mesenteric ischemia: a life-threatening emergency

Mesenteric ischemia occurs suddenly and requires immediate treatment.

This condition remains one of the most feared in emergency practice.

Its diagnosis often remains difficult, sometimes delayed, which increases the risk of intestinal necrosis. In this context, the use of a Structured CT scan reporting becomes a real driver of efficiency and an asset for the quality and speed of care.

Why is a structured CT scan report essential?

Imaging plays a central role in the management of mesenteric ischemia, whether acute or chronic.

It is essential for the radiologist to:

• Detect clinical and radiological signs suggestive of ischemia
• Differentiate between stages of schemic progression
• Rapidly determine the appropriate treatment plan

A clear, comprehensive, and structured report improves the speed and quality of this care.

Keydiag^® : a structuring tool for radiologists

With the aim of improving efficiency and standardization, Keydiag® by Keymaging provides a CT scan report that guides the radiologist through each stage of the analysis.

With our tool, the reliability of the report is enhanced thanks to validation by a recognized expert in abdominal imaging: Professor Ronot. This expertise guarantees rigorous, reproducible interpretation that is tailored to clinical issues.

A major advantage: the report provides direct access to SURVI (Intestinal Vascular Emergency Structure), a resource dedicated to harmonizing practices in intestinal vascular emergencies

Why use the mesenteric ischemia CT scan report by Keydiag^® ?

• Structured report so that no essential elements are overlooked.
• Provide evidence suggestive of digestive necrosis.
• Specify the thrombosed portion of the superior mesenteric artery if thrombectomy is indicated.
• Report approved by Prof. Ronot.
• Quickly access the SURVI website: the Intestinal Vascular Emergency Structure.

• Image of the superior mesenteric artery and inferior mesenteric artery with the colon and small intestine.

Better detection, better treatment, better survival rates

Mesenteric ischemia remains rare but dangerous.
To improve prognosis, collaboration between emergency departments, radiology, and surgery is essential.
