Abstract

The aim of present study is to study the role of Multi detector computed Tomography in the evaluation of colorectal lesions with histopathological correlation. In this study, patients with wall thickening involving the colon and rectum on CT were included. CT was performed using Idohexol contrast medium. All patients were placed in the supine position on the CT table, and a rectal tube was inserted. Room air was gently insufflated into the colon get adequate colonic distension. CT acquisitions were performed in the arterial phase (start delay of 25-35 seconds) and in the portal venous phase (start delay of 50- 70 seconds) with a section width of 5 mm. when wall thickening is identified, it is characterized using the following criteria.
