Course Overview
Presented by Vincent Mellnick, MD at Practical Radiology 2025. The colon is a common site of pathology which may cause presentation to the emergency department.

Learning Objectives
-
Utilize CT to identify and characterize acute conditions of the colon and rectum
-
Create an appropriate differential diagnosis based on the clinical history, anatomic location and imaging findings when encountering colonic wall thickening
