Target Sign
General Considerations
- Three concentric circles formed by the layers of the bowel wall in inflammatory disease of the bowel and seen on contrast-enhanced CT
- The inner and outer rings of high attenuation are presumed to represent hyperemia of the mucosa and muscularis propia and/or serosa, respectively
- The middle low attenuation ruing is presumed to represent submucosal edema which produces thickening of the bowel wall
- Best seen during late arterial, early venous phase
