The objective of our study was to prospectively determine the frequency and clinical importance of extracolonic findings on CT colonography in symptomatic patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS. One hundred eleven symptomatic patients referred for colonoscopy underwent CT colonography before colonoscopy. Helical CT from the diaphragm to the symphysis was performed with the patient in the supine and prone positions after rectal air insufflation. Image interpretation was done on a digital workstation. Extracolonic findings were classified as minor, moderate, or major according to potential clinical importance. Patient records, with a follow-up time of about 3 years, were reviewed to determine final diagnoses.
