CT colonography (CTC), or virtual colonoscopy, is a non-invasive imaging method that uses CT data sets combined with specialized imaging software to examine the colon. CTC is not used routinely in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, investigating contemporarily the colon, other abdominal organs and the peritoneum with CTC is at times useful in patients with IBD, especially whe...<br/><br/> Regge, Neri, Turini, Chiara (2009) <i>Eur J Radiol</i> <i></i> <i></i> : <br/>
