Air insufflation of the colon as an adjunct to pelvic CT examinations was performed in 49 patients for evaluation of a known or suspected pelvic mass or in follow-up of treated pelvic tumors. This safe, simple method of colonic visualization clearly outlines the rectosigmoid colon and permits a reliable assessment of the mucosa, wall thickness, and extrinsic abnormalities, thereby improving diagnostic accuracy in staging pelvic malignancy and evaluating pelvic pathology.
对49例患者进行结肠充气作为盆腔CT检查的辅助手段，以评估已知或疑似盆腔肿块，或对治疗后的盆腔肿瘤进行随访。这种安全、简单的结肠可视化方法能清晰勾勒出直肠乙状结肠，并能可靠地评估黏膜、肠壁厚度和外在异常，从而提高盆腔恶性肿瘤分期诊断的准确性和评估盆腔病变的能力。
