Virtual colonoscopy versus optical colonoscopy [PDF]

Expert Opinion on Medical Diagnostics, 2010
IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD: The high prevalence of colon carcinoma combined with the low compliance of currently recommended screening guidelines explains the continued high mortality rate of colon cancer. Utilizing a strategy of virtual colonoscopy (VC) in asymptomatic patients over 50, with optical colonoscopy (OC) follow-up for removal of detected ...

The association among diet, dietary fiber, and bowel preparation at colonoscopy [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Pre-colonoscopy dietary restrictions vary widely and lack evidence-based guidance. We investigated whether fiber and various other foods/macronutrients consumed during the 3 days before colonoscopy are associated with bowel ...

Colonoscopy [PDF]

CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, 1972
Colonoscopy is an accepted technique for investigation of the colon. No portion of the large bowel is inaccessible to the diagnostic and therapeutic approach by flexible colonoscopy. The technical aspects of instrumentation have yielded to progress, with a small television chip currently incorporated into the tip of endoscopes transmitting an excellent

Analysis of lesion localisation at colonoscopy: outcomes from a multi-centre U.K. study [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Colonoscopy is currently the gold standard for detection of colorectal lesions, but may be limited in anatomically localising lesions. This audit aimed to determine the accuracy of colonoscopy lesion localisation, any subsequent changes in

Operative Colonoscopy [PDF]

BMJ, 1973
In 12 patients with radiologically-proved lesions of the colon total retrograde fibreoptic colonoscopy was performed on the unopened bowel at laparotomy. Additional polyps were found in five patients, and in four of these the polyp was not readily palpable through the bowel wall.

Endocuff Vision Reduces Inspection Time Without Decreasing Lesion Detection in a Randomized Colonoscopy Trial [PDF]

, 2019
Background & Aims Mucosal exposure devices improve detection of lesions during colonoscopy and have reduced examination times in uncontrolled studies. We performed a randomized trial of Endocuff Vision vs standard colonoscopy to compare differences in ...

Faecal haemoglobin can define risk of colorectal neoplasia at surveillance colonoscopy in patients at increased risk of colorectal cancer. [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Quantitative faecal immunochemical tests measure faecal haemoglobin concentration (f-Hb), which increases in the presence of colorectal neoplasia.Objective: We examined the diagnostic accuracy of faecal immunochemical test (FIT)in patients at

Detectability of colorectal neoplasia with fluorine-18-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography and computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) [PDF]

, 2011
The purpose of this study was to analyze the detectability of colorectal neoplasia with fluorine-18-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT). Data for a total of 492 patients who had undergone both PET/CT

Patients without colonoscopic follow-up after abnormal fecal immunochemical tests are often unaware of the abnormal result and report several barriers to colonoscopy. [PDF]

, 2020
BackgroundThe fecal immunochemical test (FIT) is the second most commonly used colorectal cancer (CRC) screening modality in the United States; yet, follow-up of abnormal FIT results with diagnostic colonoscopy is underutilized.

Association between diverticulosis and colonic neoplastic lesions in individuals with a positive faecal immunochemical test [PDF]

, 2017
Background The association between diverticulosis and colonic neoplastic lesions has been suggested, but data in literature are conflicting. This study aimed to investigate such a relationship in patients participating in a colorectal cancer screening ...
