Figure 3 Three dimensional volume rendered image of small and large bowel in 46 years old female with diarrhea. There was no evidence of bowel obstruction. The apparent narrowing of ascending colon (arrowhead) was likely to be due to passage of peristalsis, there was no evidence of mass on two dimensional axial and coronal images. Three dimensional images may be more commonly used in the future to help plan surgery.
