ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical application value of multi-directional liver acquisition with volume acceleration (LAVA)imaging in diagnosing adult intussusception.Methods Nine cases with adult intussusception confirmed by multi-directional LAVA imaging and operation were included in the study.The MRI manifestations were analyzed retrospectively.Results Of the 9 cases,there were 4 cases of small intestine intussusception,1 case of ileocecal intussusception,3 cases of ileocecum intussusception and 1 case of colon intussusception.MRI features showed"target"sign in 9 cases,"bowel within bowel"sign in 4 cases,"kidney-shaped"mass in 8 cases,double"target"sign in 3 cases,"8"character sign in 3 cases,mesenteric lymph node tumescence in 1 case and ileus in 1 case.Conclusion The multi-directional LAVA imaging can help to show the various features of intussusceptions.
