摘要：

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to assess the utility of vascular views for visualization of invasive colorectal cancers on contrast-enhanced MDCT colonography. CONCLUSION. By means of Hounsfield-transparency settings, we obtained virtual endoluminal images that show vascular structures and delineate invasive cancers of the colorectal wall, and we call these images "vascular views." Using this technique for contrast-enhanced MDCT colonography, we found that the increase in flow and pooling of blood related to angiogenesis of cancerous lesions is easy to identify and that this finding is useful in the detection of invasive colorectal cancers.
