The Application of Hypotonic Colonography CT in Diagnosis of Colonic Carcinoma / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of CT hypotonic colonography in carcinoma of colon.Methods A total of 55 cases who were diagnosed as ileus,abdomen mass or suspected colonic carcinoma clinically were undergone CT hypotonic clolonography in six years recently,in our hospital.Of them,CT data of 35 cases identified by pathology were analysed retrospectively.Results CT diagnosis was corresponded to the pathologic results in 34 cases .Of them,33 cases were colonic adenocarcinoma(1 case with intussusception of ileum-colon type),one case was abdominal multiple metastatic adenocarcinoma.One case with cecal inflammation and granulation tissues hyperplasia was misdiagnosed for colonic carcinoma by CT.21 of 35 cases were undergone colongraphy,of them,15 cases were diagnosed as colonic carcinoma,1 case was normal,colonographic failure occurred in one case and 4 cases were false negative.Conclusion Hypotonic water perfusion CT scan in the cases permitted under clinical condition(patient with ileus should be perfused with 3% meglumine diatrizoate) can display clearly the primary focus,the position and range of ileus,surrounding organ.It is more excellent than conventional CT and X-ray examination.
