Abstract
We describe a new method for complete opacification of the rectum usin g helical CT and a newly developed anal contrast agent, Rectal cancers were easily identified in all of the 21 patients examined, and diagno stic accuracy in detecting local invasion was 94%. Our method of recta l CT is easy to perform and well tolerated.
