Figure 5.  Geometric morphology as an indicator of fecal material. Endoluminal CT image of the sigmoid colon shows a filling defect with angled edges (arrow). This appearance is not consistent with a polyp. Small polyps are round, oval, or lobulated but do not contain geometric edges. Visualization of 3D morphology is facilitated by thin-section multisection CT.
