Abstract
Surgery of the large bowel includes many different intervention performed in the treatment of a wide spectrum of pathologies. Follow up imaging is needed particularly in patients with neoplastic and flogistic diseases. Contrast CT colonography is an emerging test which allows to obtain during a single examination an accurate assessment of large bowel wall, anastomotic and perianastomotic area, abdominal organs, nodes, and peritoneal cavity. In this chapter the most frequent normal and pathologic Contrast CT colonography pattern are showed.
