Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The WE-CT is an innovative and easy practice imaging technique of colon tumors; it is based on the colon distension by a high volume of warm water and a multidetector CT acquisition after IV (intravenous) contrast, allowing image analysis including the wall thickness and enhancement, the pericolic adjacent spaces and the entire abdomen. The goal of the study is the evaluation of its performances for the diagnosis of colon tumors.
