CT colonography for longitudinal in-vivo assessment of colonic lengthening in middle-age and older adults
Longitudinal CTC showed a mean age-related increase in colonic length of greater than 7 cm per decade in middle-age and older adults. The intraperitoneal colonic segments (transverse > sigmoid) accounted for most of this elongation, whereas the more fixed extraperitoneal segments showed no significant net length increase.
