Applecore refers to a specific image on a contrast enhanced xray of the abdomen, or indeed any contrast enhanced image of a tubular vessel.

It shows a stricture inducing lesion that compresses the walls of the bowel for example, causing a narrowing of the bowel.

Causes can range from adhesions (fibrosis and "scarring") that form after surgery to an annular constricting colon cancer.
