A member asked:

What does it mean by "soft tissue stranding in the surrounding mesenteric fat" on ct? is it same as misty mesentery or mesenteric fat stranding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Equivalent terms: All three of those terms mean the same thing, although "misty mesentery" is not one that is commonly used.
