Definition of colonic regions and example of a typical region of interest (ROI).
(A) Proximal colon defined from the cecum to the hepatic flexure. Transverse colon defined from the hepatic to the splenic flexure. Descending colon defined from the splenic flexure to the left iliac crest. Recto-sigma defined from the left iliac crest to the anus. (B) A typical region of interest (ROI) definition in the proximal colon.
