| Popis: | The aim of this study was to evaluate feasibility and reproducibility of quantitative assessment of colonic morphology on CT colonography (CTC). CTC datasets from 60 patients with optimal colonic distension were assessed using prototype software. Metrics potentially associated with poor endoscopic performance were calculated for the total colon and each segment including: length, volume, tortuosity (number of high curvature points |
