Overview
CT scan with contrast and CT colonography or virtual colonoscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis of familial adenomatous polyposis. Outgrowths and filling defects are suggestive of familial adenomatous polyposis.
CT scan
- CT scan with contrast may be helpful in the diagnosis of familial adenomatous polyposis. Findings on CT scan with contrast suggestive of familial adenomatous polyposis include:[1]
- Outgrowth
- Filling defect
- CT colonography or virtual colonoscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis of familial adenomatous polyposis. Findings on CT colonography suggestive of familial adenomatous polyposis include:[3]
- Visual detection of outgrowths from intestine
- CT colonography is indicated in some patients, including:
- Incompleted, failed, or unfeasible colonoscopy
- Elderly and frail patients
