Colorectal Laterally Spreading Tumors by Computed Tomographic Colonography

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2013
To date, few reports focused primarily on detecting colorectal laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) have been published. The aim of this study was to determine the visibility of LSTs on computed tomographic colonography (CTC) compared with that on colonoscopy as a standard.
