2 Learning objectives 1. To describe and illustrate CT findings in patients with chronic radiation enteritis (CRE) 2- To highlight those associated with surgery Page 2 of 36
3 Background Radiation therapy plays an important role in the treatment of many pelvic cancers, but, despite advances in treatment techniques, healthy tissue toxicity remains the most important radiation-dose-limiting factor. During radiation therapy of pelvic cancers, parts of the small bowel, colon or rectum are inevitably included in the treatment field and may often be injured [1]. The terminal ileum and the recto-sigmoid colon are more commonly injured because of their fixed position and proximity to pelvic organs. Most factors which could influence the development of CRE are either patient-related factors such as age, gender, body mass index, and concomitant comorbidities, or treatment-related factors such as radiation dose, fractionation schedule, volume of small bowel in the radiation field, and concomitant use of chemotherapy[2, 3]. Because of its rapid cellular turnover, the small bowel mucosa is the most radiosensitive tissue in the GI tract. Early intestinal injury is primarily a result of cell death in the rapidly proliferating crypt epithelium and a protracted acute inflammatory reaction in the lamina propria. Crypt cell death results in insufficient replacement of the villus epithelium, breakdown of the mucosal barrier and mucosal inflammation [1]. In some patients, this inflammatory process becomes exaggerated and inflammatory process runs a chronic course. Atrophy of the mucosa, fibrosis of the intestinal wall and progressive obliterative endarteritis are prominent and are currently irreversible features[1, 4]. This transmural process is mainly complicated by stricture formation and obstruction. Chronic radiation enteritis typically develops between 6 months and 6 years after radiation therapy, but has been reported to occur up to years. CRE is a diagnosis problem as most symptoms (partial small bowel obstruction and malabsorption) are non specific and can also be seen in cancer recurrence, carcinosis or adhesions. One-third of patients will require surgery, although it's associated with high postoperative morbidity and mortality. Imaging may play an important role to help diagnosis in these patients, and to help surgical decision. Because of its good spatial resolution and availability, CT scan should be the modality of choice. Page 3 of 36
4 Findings and procedure details A-CT scan imaging Sixty one patients who had a CT scan performed for CRE between 2006 and 2016 were reviewed. Forty-four patients had non emergency CT performed after small bowel distension (27 had CT enteroclysis and 17 had oral CT enterography). CT scans were performed before and after an intravenous bolus injection iodinated contrast agent, with a late arterial phase and a portal venous phase acquisitions obtained 35 and 80 seconds after injection of the contrast covering abdomen and pelvis. Seventeen patients had a CT performed in emergency for occlusive episode, with spontaneous small bowel distension. All CT examinations were contrast-enhanced. B- Small bowel CT findings All abnormal small bowel segments were in the ileum. Low distensibility was seen in all abnormal small bowel segments with a mean bowel luminal diameter of 8 mm in abnormal loops and 30 mm in upstream loops, with a mean reduction of 73% (fig.1).

Some patients (11%) had several short (1 to 5 cm) strictures separated by normal-appearing bowel (fig.2 and fig.3). Page 5 of 36

7 Fig. 3: Figure 3: Oblique reconstruction showing short strictures (green arrows) separated by distended normal-appearing bowel (yellow arrow) References: Radiology, Hôpital Beaujon - Clichy/FR Small bowel wall thickness was not marked, ranged from 2 to 7 mm (mean, 4 mm), larger than 3 mm in 47.5% of patients (fig.4, fig.5 and fig.6). Enhancement may be marked (69% of patients) or normal for the others, compared to normal loop (fig.5, fig.6 and fig.7). Page 7 of 36
8 Enhancement was layered for half of patients and homogeneous for the other half (fig.5, fig.6, fig.7 and fig.8). Of course, layered pattern was always associated with marked enhancement, as homogeneous enhancement could be normal or marked.

12 Fig. 8: Figure 8: Marked and homogeneous small bowel wall enhancement (green arrow) References: Radiology, Hôpital Beaujon - Clichy/FR Valvulae conniventes were most often atrophic (48% of patients), or thickened for 26% of patients; for the others, they were considered as normal (fig.9 and fig.10).

Page 16 of 36
17 Fig. 2: Figure 2: Extended and continuous disease (green arrow), associated with reduction of distensibility + retraction of bowel loops + homogeneous bowel wall enhancement (pattern1) References: Radiology, Hôpital Beaujon - Clichy/FR 2) pattern 2: reduction of distensibility+ marked bowel wall enhancement + layered bowel wall enhancement + bowel wall thickening, found in 28% of patients (fig.13). Page 17 of 36
18 Fig. 13: Figure 13: Pattern2, with reduction of distensibility+ marked bowel wall enhancement + layered bowel wall enhancement + bowel wall thickening References: Radiology, Hôpital Beaujon - Clichy/FR D- Comparison of CT findings in surgical and non surgical patients Thirty four patients had surgical resection. Surgery was ileocaecal resection for 28 patients and ileal resection for 6 patients. Obstruction was the main symptom for 31(91%) surgical patients (whereas obstruction and diarrhoea was each the main symptom for 13(48%) non surgical patients). Ninetyfour % of patients referred for emergency occlusive episode underwent surgery. Page 18 of 36
19 Of the CT findings described above, three were significantly associated with surgical resection: - Retraction of bowel loop (74% of surgical patients vs. 41% of non surgical patients), - Homogeneous bowel wall enhancement (65% of surgical patients vs. 33% of non surgical patients), - Atrophic valvulae conniventes (65% of surgical patients vs. 26% of non surgical patients). The most common pattern CT associated with surgery was the pattern 1 described above, found in 50% of patients, but in only 7% of non surgical patients. The combination of the three signs significantly associated with surgery was found in 44% of surgical patients, and in only 11% of non surgical patients (fig.14). Page 19 of 36

35 Conclusion If there is no pathognomonic radiological finding of chronic radiation enteritis, there are nevertheless several CT findings significantly associated to the disease. The most frequent are reduction of distensibility, marked bowel wall enhancement, extended length disease (more than 20 cm), continuous disease and retraction of bowel loops. Two main CT patterns are evocative of the disease, which are (pattern 1) extended and continuous disease, reduction of distensibility, homogeneous enhancement and retraction of bowel loops, and (pattern 2) reduction of distensibility with layered and marked bowel wall enhancement and thickening bowel wall. Pattern 1 is highly associated with surgery. Page 35 of 36
