Abstract:
In this pictorial review, we introduce recent technical development of CT scanning in the imaging of the abdominal organs, namely, the gastrointestinal tract, colon, liver, biliary tract, and pancreas. With multidetector- row CT scanner, we can depict the abdominal organs by doing thin-section volumetric images and displaying the images in transverse axial, coronal, and sagittal plane reconstruction with isotropic images. We can see the interior of the abdomen directly as in the operating theatre. In addition, we can see the interior of the gastrointestinal tract as if we are flying through a tunnel.
