Colorectal Laterally Spreading Tumors by Computed Tomographic Colonography [PDF]

International 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.

Texture analysis of CT colonography to develop a novel imaging biomarker for the management of colorectal cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery
Background Recent studies have focused on evaluating the biomarker value of textural features in radiological images. Our study investigated whether or not a texture analysis of computed tomographic colonography (CTC) images could be a novel biomarker ...

Efficacy of CO₂ Infusion for Preoperative Computed Tomographic Angiography with Computed Tomographic Colonography. [PDF]

Med Sci Monit, 2021
BACKGROUND Computed tomographic colonography (CTC) is useful for patients for whom colonoscopy may be difficult to perform and is widely employed to examine the vasculature prior to colorectal cancer surgery. Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) was shown to be beneficial intraoperatively to manipulate blood vessels and prevent vascular injury. Three-

Colon Capsule Endoscopy as a Promising Diagnostic Tool in Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis [PDF]

Diagnostics
Background: Early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer (CRC) are key goals of population-based screening. Several diagnostic tests have been proposed for CRC screening. This study compares the diagnostic accuracy of colon capsule endoscopy (CCE),

Can Computed Tomography Colonography Replace Optical Colonoscopy in Detecting Colorectal Lesions?: State of the Art [PDF]

Clinical Endoscopy, 2022
Colorectal cancer is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Optical colonoscopy (OC) is widely accepted as the reference standard for the screening of colorectal polyps and cancers, and computed tomography colonography (CTC) is a valid ...

Computed tomography colonography versus colonoscopy for detection of colorectal cancer: a diagnostic performance study

BMC Medical Imaging, 2020
Background Colonoscopy is the reference standard for the detection of colorectal cancer but it is an invasive technique and has the risk of bowel perforation and bleeding.
