Colonography using multislice CT.
European Journal of Radiology 2000 November
Computed tomography (CT) represents the preferred imaging modality for imaging the large bowel when virtual endoscopic reconstructions are desired. Using the spiral acquisition technique, it has become possible to scan the entire abdomen within a single breathhold, however, slice thicknesses of 5 mm or more are necessary should the breathhold not last longer than 30-40 s. With the advent of multislice CT, contiguous 1-mm slices can be obtained through the entire abdomen while even shortening the breathhold to 25-30 s. The improved speed and spatial resolution of multislice CT results in remarkably sharp virtual reconstructions allowing detection of polyps with sizes less than 3 mm. The disadvantages must still be considered including a dataset consisting of up to 800 images representing a new challenge for postprocessing hard- and software.
