Fig. 2From: Imaging the operated colon using water-enema multidetector CT, with emphasis on surgical anastomosesExpected status after elective sigmoid colon resection for diverticular disease with primary anastomosis (surgical scheme shown in insets) in a 60-year-old female. WE-MDCT (a, b) showed good distension of the rectum and upstream residual colon and patent colo-colic anastomosis (arrows). The stapled anastomosis (c) is depicted using maximum-intensity projection (MIP) reconstruction on the axial plane (c)Back to article page
