Abstract:
Imaging of colorectal cancer is primarily accomplished with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These two modalities have been used for more than a decade in imaging both primary and metastatic colorectal cancer. Recent advances in the CT and MRI technologies are redefining the precise role of these imaging modalities in the work-up and evaluation of patients with colorectal cancer.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and solid...
