摘要：

CT is presented as an alternative to barium enema examination for the investigation of the colon in frail elderly patients. Carcinomas can be detected reliably and the investigation is better accepted by patients and staff alike. Furthermore, extracolonic lesions are shown. Obviously small polyps are missed, but such lesions are less relevant in older patients. The CT technique is described, and some of the initial difficulties encountered during the adoption of this policy are discussed. © 1995.
