Fig. 1A —Anteroposterior surface reconstructed views of colon from CT
colonography (CTC) show representative distention scores. Supine CTC image of
69-year-old woman shows poorly distended descending colon with distention
score of 11.8%.

Fig. 1B —Anteroposterior surface reconstructed views of colon from CT
colonography (CTC) show representative distention scores. Prone CTC image of
52-year-old man shows well-distended descending colon with distention score of
95.7%.

Fig. 2A —Lateral surface-rendered 3D reconstructions of colon from CT
colonography (CTC) show representative fluid levels and automated
measurements. Arrows indicate air–fluid boundary. CT scanner table (not
shown) is at bottom of image so that fluid is dependent. Prone CTC image of
ascending colon of 69-year-old man shows low surface area obscured by fluid,
with fluid score of 1.2%.

colonography (CTC) show representative fluid levels and automated
measurements. Arrows indicate air–fluid boundary. CT scanner table (not
shown) is at bottom of image so that fluid is dependent. Supine CTC image of
ascending colon of 54-year-old man shows high surface area obscured by fluid,
with fluid score of 83.1%.
