Figure 5 Evaluation of visibility according to 7-point scale in ascending order of visibility in the arterial phase. Scores obtained by three-dimensional (3D) computed tomographic angiography with computed tomographic colonography (3D-CTA with CTC) indicated significantly superior image quality than those obtained by 3D computed tomographic angiography (CTA) for all structures (P<0.001). Statistical analyses were performed at a significance level of 0.05 by using the Mann-Whitney U test
