Abstract

Small bowel malignancies are rare, though colorectal cancers are common. This article reviews the current imaging recommendations for small bowel and colorectal malignancies. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) is the imaging modality of choice for diagnosis/staging/response evaluation/follow-up of the small bowel and colonic tumors. Magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis with high-resolution T2-weighted images in sagittal, oblique axial, and coronal planes is the imaging modality of choice for staging/response evaluation of anorectal tumors. CT colonography may be utilized as a tumor screening modality, alternative to colonoscopy.
