[Computerized tomography and sonography in the diagnosis of recurrent colorectal tumors]
Abstract:
CT and ultrasound of the abdomen were retrospectively evaluated in 44 patients operated on colorectal cancers (18 colon, 26 rectal carcinomas) in detecting a recurrence suspected on biochemical, endoscopic or clinical grounds. CT is superior to ultrasound in detecting a recurrence (metastases of liver and lymph nodes, local recurrence, intra-abdominal recurrence of another localisation). CT is recommended as a routine examination in the follow-up of patients operated on colorectal cancers.

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...

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...
