Abstract

Majority of the duodenal lesions have received little attention in imaging literature in comparison with jejunum and ileum as most of them are primarily investigated with conventional endoscopy. Cross sectional imaging techniques–Multi Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) have dramatic improvement in diagnostic capabilities as they can analyse the wall of the duodenum, intraluminal content, submucosal extent of the disease, and infiltration into the surrounding viscera. Few of the duodenal lesions have overlapping imaging characteristics and it is crucial to correlate these conditions with histopathological analysis for definitive diagnosis. The main aim of this imaging review is to elucidate the diverse spectrum of duodenal lesions with emphasis on CT and MRI imaging features.
