• The absence of bowel wall enhancement is the most consistent CT feature associated with transmural necrosis in NOMI, whatever is the bowel segment involved. • Inter-reader agreement is lower in the colon than in the small bowel in NOMI. • In NOMI, the more proximal the bowel necrosis, the worse the prognosis.
