Abstract:
Virtual colonoscopy or computed tomographic (CT) colonography is a rapidly evolving technique for imaging the entire colon and detection of colorectal polyps. It uses standard helical computed tomography images of the colon and advanced imaging software to produce reformatted two- and three-dimensional views of the entire colorectum. Multi-detector row helical computed tomography has several technical advantages over single-detector row computed tomographic, including faster imaging times with the acquisition of thinner sections. The improved speed and spatial resolution of multislice computed tomography promises an increase of sensitivity and specificity, especially for the detection of colorectal lesions.

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...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
