Anterior scout view non-contrast
The colon from ileo-cecal junction is intussuscepted through to the left iliac fossa (distal descending). Lead point is not well seen but seems to be mucosal thickening, presumed to be the known cecal carcinoma. Note indrawn blood vessels continue to enhance thus the intussuscepted bowel is not definitely ischemic at this time.
