Radiomic Analysis Based on Abdominal CT-Scan to Predict Strangulation in Adhesive Small Bowel Obstruction: Preliminary Results.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Small Bowel Obstruction (SBO) accounts for 15% of emergency department (ED) admissions. While conservative management is recommended, surgery becomes necessary when strangulation is suspected. Identifying which patients need surgery remains a challenge, as traditional imaging lacks sufficient sensitivity and specificity. This study aimed to explore radiomic features to identify potential predictors of strangulation. Methods: This retrospective study included patients admitted to a tertiary referral hospital ED between 2019 and 2023, diagnosed with Adhesion Small Bowel Obstruction (aSBO) via contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scans. Two patient groups were examined: those who underwent surgery with bowel resection and ischemic changes confirmed histologically (operat
