Core Tip	Axial and coronal reformations are inadequate for multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) used to identify some causes of small bowel obstruction (SBO) and secondary bowel ischemia. In our study, both integrated and optimized protocols of multiple post-processing techniques can improve the diagnostic accuracy of MDCT for assessing SBO, but the integrated protocol necessitates a longer time spent and increases the workload of radiologists. The optimized protocol can both guarantee the time efficiency and improve the diagnostic accuracy of MDCT for assessing SBO and secondary bowel ischemia. The optimized protocol can be considered as a routine image post-processing approach of MDCT for assessment of patients with SBO.
