Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the techniques and clinical applications of 16 multislice helical CT in colonic lesions.
METHODSEighty-one patients including 54 colorectal carcinomas, 5 adenomas, 1 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, 6 inflammatory bowel diseases, and other 15 cases underwent volume scanning using 16 multislice helical CT. Four types of reconstruction included multiple planar reconstruction, shaded surface display, raysum, and CT virtual colonoscopy.
RESULTSComplete colon could be shown in all patients. The lesions' morphology, number, size, location, intestinal cavity, pericolonic changes, and other abdominal organs were satisfactorily shown by CT.
CONCLUSIONSSixteen multislice helical CT colonography is a valuable imaging technique for detecting colonic diseases. It is effective in diagnosis and treatment planning. It can display the portions of colon that is inaccessible at colonoscopy.
