Figure 6b.  Internal heterogeneity as an indicator of fecal material. (a) Endoluminal CT image shows a round well-circumscribed filling defect (arrow) in the cecum. (b) Prone axial CT image shows that the filling defect (arrow) has internal low attenuation, which indicates gas. In small lesions, internal heterogeneity is an indicator of residual fecal material.
