CT colonoscopy is a newer submodality of imaging in Computed tomography specifically being used for colorectal evaluation. The aim of work is to evaluate and describe the role of CT colonoscopy for various colorectal pathologies in patients with lower GI symptoms.

Subject and Methods: Our study included 50 patients with lower GI sypmtoms; 16 had inflammatory bowel disease, 6 of them had colorectal malignancy, 7 had polyps, 8 had hemorrhoid. All patients were subjected to CT colonoscopy examination and results were compared to conventional colonoscopy and documented by histopathology in all cases to determine the efficacy of CT colonoscopy.

Results: The results in our study showed that CT colonoscopy is a considerably efficient modality in evaluation colonic pathologies. when compared to conventional colonoscopy and further helps in delineating the locoregional extent of the lesion-n.
