Bleeding hemorrhoids - importance of coverage in CT mesenteric angiography

Discussion:

Surgeons found bleeding hemorrhoids on sigmoidoscopy. These abnormal veins in the rectal wall were not visible.

It is surprising to me (at least) that bleeding from hemorrhoids can be so severe and not clinically obvious to the treating doctors.  What that means to the prescribing radiologist and radiographers is the entire gastrointestinal tract from stomach to anus must be included in the scan range.
