Objective: The purpose of this feasibility study was to prospectively evaluate an optimized multidetector computed tomographic protocol for the diagnosis of active obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). Methods: Between October 2006 and February 2008, patients admitted for active OGIB were included in this prospective unicenter study. Water was administered orally and rectally as neutral luminal contrast material. A contrast-enhanced 16-row multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) was performed in the arterial and venous phases. Mesenteric digital subtraction angiography was carried out immediately after MDCT as standard of reference. Results: Six patients were included in this study Multidetector computed tomography identified the bleeding site and source in 5 (83%) of the patients. Digital subtraction angiography was performed in 4 patients, and the result was positive in 1 (25%) of the patients. Multidetector computed tomography detected the site and source of bleeding in 2 patients whose digital subtraction angiographic result was negative. Conclusions: The results of this feasibility study indicate that optimized MDCT is an excellent diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of active OGIB.
