Stratified attenuation pattern in the ascending colon of a cirrhotic patient. Reformatted coronal contrast-enhanced CT scan shows parietal regular and concentric thickening of the ascending colon (arrows) with a “target” appearance due to oedema of the submucosa. Note the irregular contours of the liver (arrowheads) consistent with hepatic cirrhosis.
