 We investigated the clinical usefulness and role of radiographic examination of the large intestine for diagnosing inflammatory bowel disease, especially focusing on ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD).

 In the case of UC, the main morphological diagnosis is carried out only by colonoscopy, but radiographic examination of the large intestine is useful for evaluating the morphological severity of UC. Both of these methods produce data that can be well correlated in clinical investigation, especially for patients in whom it is difficult to perform total colonoscopy.

 In the case of CD, radiographic examination of the large intestine is superior to colonscopy for providing the whole image of the lesion with its arrangement and distribution. Moreover, it is applicable for diagnosis of cases with severe colonic stenosis and fistula. In addition, morphological observation by radiographic examination reveals many cases in which circumferential cobblestone appearance has developed into intestinal stenosis and fistula. For these reasons, it is necessary to perform follow-up observation using radiographic examination of the large intestine for such cases, even if intestinal complication is not able to be found by initial radiographic examination.

 The conclusion is that, it is important to understand the respective roles of radiography and colonoscopy for the diagnosis and the follow-up study of inflammatory bowel disease.
