Abstract
In this article we provide practical advice for optimizing computed tomography colonography (CTC) technique to help ensure that reproducible, high-quality examinations are achieved. Relevant literature is reviewed and specific attention is paid to patient information, bowel cleansing, insufflation, anti-spasmodics, patient positioning, CT technique, post-procedure care and complications, as well as practical problem-solving advice. There are many different approaches to performing CTC; our aim is to not to provide a comprehensive review of the literature, but rather to present a practical and robust protocol, providing guidance, particularly to those clinicians with little prior experience of the technique.
