We were recently commissioned to do some visualizations for a virtual colonoscopy procedure. Also known as a colonography. If you’re unfamiliar with the process, Wikipedia has enough information to give you a general overview. While there is a lot of information on the internet about the scanning process itself and what the patient will experience, there isn’t much about the ways in which the CT data can be analyzed once it is acquired. So here’s a brief overview of what we at Anatomical Travelogue did with it.
