Computed Tomographic Colonography: Image Display Methods
2010High reader performance (high sensitivity levels with low false-positive rates) and time efficiency are the two main goals sought during interpretation of computed tomographic colonography (CTC) examinations. As CTC continues to grow as a valid screening test for colorectal neoplasia, one concern is that, as currently proposed by most authorities in ...

Computed Tomographic Colonography: Current Perspectives and Future Directions
Gastroenterology, 2009Computed tomographic (CT) colonography, also known as virtual colonoscopy or CT colography, is capable of detecting colon polyps and cancers. It is emerging rapidly and has gained great momentum over the past several years, to the point where it has been proposed to be a viable primary colon cancer screening option.

The future of colorectal imaging: computed tomographic colonography
Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 2002The development of colorectal cancer screening alternatives that are attractive to patients and effective for screening is critical for reducing this too-common and deadly disease. CTC is an exciting technique that is the only imaging alternative developed since the barium enema for colon screening.

Economic Impact of Extracolonic Findings at Computed Tomographic Colonography
Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 2008To determine the prevalence of extracolonic findings at computed tomographic colonography (CTC) and estimate the cost of the workup of newly discovered potentially significant lesions.An electronic information system was used to review all patient data before and after the CTC in a mixed cohort of 376 patients.

Detection of colorectal lesions with virtual computed tomographic colonography
The American Journal of Surgery, 2002The aim of our study was to compare the performance of virtual computed tomographic colonography with that of conventional colonoscopy in a blinded, prospective study in 165 patients with suspected colorectal lesions.There were 165 patients, all referred for conventional colonoscopy, who underwent preliminary virtual computed tomographic colonography ...

[Computed tomographic colonography: applications, advantages and disadvantages].
Gastroenterologia y hepatologia, 2005Complete preoperative study of the colon is required in the management of colorectal cancer, due to the frequent association of primary colonic neoplasms with colonic adenomas (28%) and/or synchronous carcinomas (5%) of the colon. We present a series of patients who underwent computed tomographic colonography, the indications for this procedure, and ...

Can Computed Tomographic Colonography Become a “Good” Screening Test?
Annals of Internal Medicine, 2005When prepless computed tomographic colonography achieves a reasonably high and consistent sensitivity for an appropriate target lesion, we may finally have a good screening test.

Scheduling, Performing, and Reporting Computed Tomographic Colonography
2010The purpose of this chapter is to provide a practical guide for setting up a computed tomographic colonography (CTC) practice commencing with processing the initial request by a potential patient or clinician, selecting the patient cathartic and tagging agent (these issues are detailed in Chap.
