Computed Tomography of Recurrent Rectal Carcinoma

Abstract
Computed tomography [CT] was performed in 28 patients and gave a correct diagnosis in 21 of 22 cases with abdomino-perineal excision of the rectum and in 5 of 6 with anterior resection. CT is of considerable value in the diagnosis of local recurrence of rectal carcinoma, particularly after rectal excision.
