Iatrogenic Colonic Perforation due to Computed Tomographic Colonography [PDF]
Although the complications of computed tomographic colonography (CTC) are very rare, CTC is associated with potential risk of colonic perforation. In the present report we describe two cases of colonic perforation secondary to CTC. In the first case with

Multi-scale characterizations of colon polyps via computed tomographic colonography [PDF]
Texture features have played an essential role in the field of medical imaging for computer-aided diagnosis. The gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM)-based texture descriptor has emerged to become one of the most successful feature sets for these ...

Predictors of incomplete optical colonoscopy using computed tomographic colonography
Background/Aims: Optical colonoscopy (OC) is the primary modality for investigation of colonic pathology. Although there is data on demographic factors for incomplete OC, paucity of data exists for anatomic variables that are associated with an ...
