The importance of CAD and DECT in CT colonography

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2021
Introduction According to the American College of Radiology and the American Cancer Society, CTC has been recognized as a valuable screening method for detecting CRC in people at medium risk as an alternative to endoscopic colonoscopy.

Training in Computed Tomographic Colonography Interpretation: Recommendations for Best Practice [PDF]

, 2022
The value of computed tomographic colonography (CTC) as a sensitive diagnostic investigation for colorectal cancer is well established. However, there is lack of consensus in the best way to achieve expertise in interpreting these studies. In this review

Development of a synthetic phantom for the selection of optimal scanning parameters in CAD-CT colonography [PDF]

, 2006
The aim of this paper is to present the development of a synthetic phantom that can be used for the selection of optimal scanning parameters in computed tomography (CT) colonography. In this paper we attempt to evaluate the influence of the main scanning

Shape filtering for false positive reduction at computed tomography colonography [PDF]

, 2006
In this paper, we treat the problem of reducing the false positives (FP) in the automatic detection of colorectal polyps at Computer Aided Detection in Computed Tomography Colonography (CAD-CTC) as a shape-filtering task.

Frailty is an independent risk factor for recurrence and mortality following curative resection of stage I–III colorectal cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 405-412, July 2020., 2020
Abstract Aim With population aging, the number of frail patients with colorectal cancer has increased. The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a validated tool for assessing frailty, and higher scores indicate worse clinical outcomes following cardiovascular procedures.

Quantifying the impact of adherence to screening strategies on colorectal cancer incidence and mortality

Cancer Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 824-836, January 2020., 2020
Although adherence to colorectal cancer screening has a substantial impact on clinical outcomes, estimating the magnitude of this impact has been challenging. This study provides a quantitative analysis of the extent to which differences in adherence rates affect clinical outcomes of different screening strategies.

A remote access CT colonography training system [PDF]

, 2007
Computed tomography colonography (CTC) is emerging as an alternative to conventional colonoscopy (CC). However CTC is not yet in widespread use due in part to the lack of suitably trained radiologists.

A statistical approach for robust polyp detection in CT colonography [PDF]

, 2005
In this paper we describe the development of a computationally efficient computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm based on the statistical features derived from the local colonic surface that are used for the detection of colonic polyps in computed ...

Current implications and challenges of artificial intelligence technologies in therapeutic intervention of colorectal cancer

Exploration of Targeted Anti-tumor Therapy, 2023
Irrespective of men and women, colorectal cancer (CRC), is the third most common cancer in the population with more than 1.85 million cases annually. Fewer than 20% of patients only survive beyond five years from diagnosis.
