The purpose of this exhibit is: 1:To review the colon distention technology of CT Colonography (CTC). 2:To discuss the relationship between the conventional insufflation and the new “two steps insufflation”. 3:To explain the insufflation method of colon distention in order to achieve a high quality CT Colonography.

1:Relationship between the colon distention and the insufflation. 2:Anatomy of colon needed to distend the colon. 3:Steps necessary for re-positioning along the shape of the colon. 4:Visual assessment of the distention degree by means of a three-dimensional image. a:Conventional insufflation. b:2 steps insufflation. 5.Benefits of the colon distention utilizing the new insufflation method.
