| [ Summary ] | Computed tomographic colonography (3D-CT for colorectal cancer) is a new method for imaging the colon. In this article we provide practical advice concerning 3D-CT techniques for preoperative diagnosis. These techniques help ensure reproducible, high quality examinations. Accurate preoperative assessment of colorectal cancer is essential in choosing the most appropriate therapeutic strategies especialy for patient prognosis. 3D-CT provide accurate evaluation of the bowel, cancer location, degree of cancer invasion outside the bowel wall and of extracolonic metastases. 3D-CT conbined with CT angiography is helpful in assessing vascular branching anatomy before colorectal cancer surgery. 3D-CT also has the potential to become an accepted technique for evaluation of nonvisualized parts of the colon after incomplete colonoscopy or conditions caused by stenosis. It can increase the diagnostic yield concerning masses and clinically important polyps in these parts of the colon. By using polyethylene glycol solution plus contrast medium (PEG-C) bowel preparation, 3D-CT shows the entire colon without blind spots, clear differentiations between polyps and residual fluids are possible because the residual fluids are tagged with the water-soluble contrast medium. Use of 3D-CT after PEG-C preparation is not only feasible but safe. It can be used for preoperative evaluation of patients with colorectal cancer. |
