Colic vasculature has a wide spectrum of variants in branching and in relationship between vessels and abdominal structures. To add an arterial phase scan to CT Colonography protocol allows processing of a vascular map, helpful in pre-operative planning of laparoscopic surgery for colo-rectal cancer, diverticular disease and other colonic diseases.

Contrast enhanced CT Colonography protocol CE-CTC for colorectal cancer staging and diagnosis of non-neoplastic colonic diseases Colonic vasculature anatomy and variants Role of laparoscopic colonic surgery (advantages and disadvantages) Usefulness of colonic vascular map in preoperative laparoscopic planning Sample cases with 3D rendered CTC - Vascular hybrid images
