This imaging study is likely used for evaluating the colon, small intestine, and liver vasculature in detail, with the use of contrast. It combines multiple techniques:
1. CT Colonoscopy – A non-invasive alternative to traditional colonoscopy that uses CT imaging to visualize the colon for polyps, tumors, or other abnormalities.
2. CT Enteroclysis – A specialized imaging study to evaluate the small intestine, often used for detecting Crohn’s disease, tumors, or obstructions.
3. CT Portography (Dual Phase) – A scan to assess portal vein circulation in the liver, typically for conditions like portal hypertension, liver cirrhosis, or tumors. The dual-phase aspect means images are captured in two stages (arterial and venous phases) after contrast injection.

    Contrast Administration:
    Oral contrast (barium or iodine-based) for intestinal imaging.
    IV contrast injection (iodine-based) for vascular and liver imaging.
    Possible rectal contrast for colon visualisation.
    Hydration:
    Drink plenty of water the day before, unless otherwise instructed.
    IV fluids may be administered in some cases.
    Medication Adjustments:
