Main Methods:

  • Utilizing multidetector CT technology for colonic imaging.
  • Employing multiplanar reconstructions and virtual endoscopy for 3D assessment.
  • Reviewing CT colonography techniques and findings.

Main Results:

  • MDCT enables faster, higher-resolution colonic imaging with lower radiation dose.
  • 3D analysis via multiplanar reconstructions and virtual endoscopy is now possible.
  • CT colonography is emerging as a viable screening tool.

Conclusions:

  • CT colonography is becoming an alternative to fiberoptic colonoscopy for screening.
  • Advancements in computer-aided diagnosis are crucial for CT colonography.
  • This article provides a protocol and overview of CT colonography for colonic diseases.
