Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze the quantitative evaluation of human small intestinal bleeding by observing and analyzing animal experiments of small intestinal hemorrhage in rabbit models for the convenience of understanding the role of energy spectrum CT iodine-water diagram in animal experimental research of quantitative evaluation of small intestinal bleeding in rabbit models. Compared with the energy spectrum of iodine-water graph of a rabbit CT model, the present study studied the quantitative evaluation of small intestinal bleeding by using a rabbit model instead of human. According to the method mentioned above and the analysis of experimental data, the role of energy spectrum CT iodine-water map and the quantitative evaluation of human small intestinal bleeding have been understood. It was found that the energy spectrum CT iodine-water map replaces humans in the rabbit model for quantitative evaluation of small intestinal bleeding in animal experiments, which is important in the present study. Besides, based upon the combination of theoretical and experimental data, the ten flow rates set on the base material iodine (water) maps of the arterial phase and the portal phase can be analyzed to detect the leakage of contrast agent. The yield was 100%. The research results showed that the animal experiment of quantitative assessment of small intestinal bleeding by replacing the human body with the rabbit model in the energy spectrum CT iodine-water diagram is critical to humans in the study of small intestinal hemorrhagic diseases. In addition, it can be used to adjust the treatment plan timely according to the amount of bleeding to prevent shock or heavy bleeding that threatens patients' lives.
