Chronic meseteric ischemia (CMI) is a disease characterized by an insufficient blood supply to the intestines due to a narrowing (stenosis) of one or multiple intestinal arteries. The primary symptom is abdominal pain especially during meal digestion. Currently the diagnosis of CMI is heavily reliant on the exclusion of differential diagnoses. With this study we wish to evaluate whether a newer CT technology called dual-energy CT (DECT) may be able to visualize this altered blood flow during meal consumption.
