  		Fig. 6A. —70-year-old man with lymphoma, postchemotherapy pancytopenia, liver failure, and sepsis. CT scan shows extensive small-bowel intramural and intraluminal hemorrhage and hyperdense intramural and intraluminal hemorrhage in cross-section of jejunum (arrows). Hyperdense intraluminal hemorrhage is shown in longitudinal image of thick-walled jejunum (arrowheads). Neither oral nor IV contrast medium was administered. Hyperdense hemorrhage mimics oral contrast medium in bowel lumen.
