Estratto
La colonscopia virtuale (CV) è un esame diagnostico per il quale è necessaria una TC spirale in grado di effettuare una scansione dell’addome e della pelvi in una singola apnea respiratoria [1]. Sebbene agli inizi della CV si utilizzassero apparecchiature a singolo strato (TC-SS), lo sviluppo tecnologico rende oggi praticamente obbligatorio l’uso di TC spirali multistrato (TC-MS) [2].
