Excited to share our new paper in Abdominal Radiology ! We studied 313 pts with pneumatosis intestinalis on CT to better predict which cases indicate bowel ischemia. By combining clinical & radiological features, we achieved 85% AUC in identifying bowel ischemia. Francesca Rigiroli MD Alexander Brook
