Ileocecal valve imaging on computed tomographic colonography

Abdominal Imaging, 2004
The aim of our study was to describe the visualization, normal anatomy, and variations of the ileocecal valve with computed tomographic (CT) colonography to provide information about its optimal imaging.We analyzed data in two- and three-dimensional rendering mode in 71 consecutive patients who underwent routine CT colonoscopy followed by conventional ...

Colon Imaging: Computed Tomographic Colonography

Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2005
Computed tomographic colonography (CTC, virtual colonoscopy) is an attractive modality with which to image the colon. Many different techniques are available; moreover, during the last several years, advances in hardware and software have been remarkable.

Computed tomographic colonography.

Acta gastro-enterologica Belgica, 2005
Computed tomographic colonography, also called virtual colonoscopy, is an evolving technology under evaluation as a new method of screening for colorectal cancer. However, its performance as a test has varied widely across studies, and the reasons for these discrepancies are poorly defined.

Computed Tomographic Colonography: Ready for Prime Time?

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 2010
Computed tomographic (CT) colonography is a noninvasive method to evaluate the colon and has received considerable attention in the last decade as a colon-imaging tool. The technique has also been proposed as a potential primary colon cancer-screening method in the United States. The accuracy of the technique for the detection of large lesions seems to

Appendiceal diverticulosis incidentally detected by computed tomographic colonography

Digestive and Liver Disease, 2016
A 63-year-old man with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, nd hyperlipidemia, who had been followed up regularly for 9 years, visited our hospital for positive findings on fecal mmunochemical screening test. Although he had no abdominal ymptoms, computed tomographic colonography (CTC) was perormed for colorectal cancer screening. Colorectal neoplasms were

[Computed tomographic colonography].

Duodecim; laaketieteellinen aikakauskirja, 2014
Computed tomographic colonography, i.e. CT colonography has already widely replaced double-contrast colonography as a method of examination of the colon. A prerequisite of successful examination is a well-emptied and distended colon. CT colonography detects cancer with a sensitivity of 96%, which corresponds to the results of colonoscopy.

Partial preparation computed tomographic colonography: a feasibility study

Abdominal Imaging, 2011
We retrospectively evaluated computed tomographic colonography examinations of patients who have had a partial bowel preparation and compared the quality of their preparation with patients who have had a full bowel preparation. In total, 27 patients undergoing computed tomographic colonography examination (10 patients with partial bowel preparation and

Three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography with computed tomographic colonography for laparoscopic colorectal surgery

Japanese Journal of Radiology, 2018
To prospectively correlate the preoperative vessel anatomy in three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography with computed tomographic colonography (3D-CTA with CTC) with that in laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer.The study protocol was approved by our institutional review board.

Computer-Aided Diagnosis in Computed Tomographic Colonography

2010
Computed tomographic colonography (CTC) is gaining acceptance as a method to screen the colon and rectum for polyps and masses, but there is a substantial learning curve [1, 2] and sensitivity remains variable [3]. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) has recently been referred to more often as “computer aided detection” and abbreviated CADe as distinct from

CAD techniques, challenges, andcontroversies in computed tomographic colonography

Abdominal Imaging, 2004
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) for computed tomographic colonography (CTC) automatically detects the locations of suspicious polyps and masses on CTC and provides radiologists with a second opinion. CAD has the potential to increase radiologists' diagnostic performance in the detection of polyps and masses and to decrease variability of the diagnostic ...
