Colorectal cancer screening for average-risk North Americans: an economic evaluation. [PDF]

PLoS Medicine, 2010
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) fulfills the World Health Organization criteria for mass screening, but screening uptake is low in most countries. CRC screening is resource intensive, and it is unclear if an optimal strategy exists.

Registration of the endoluminal surfaces of the colon derived from prone and supine CT colonography [PDF]

, 2011
Purpose: Computed tomographic (CT) colonography is a relatively new technique for detecting bowel cancer or potentially precancerous polyps. CT scanning is combined with three-dimensional (3D) image reconstruction to produce a virtual endoluminal ...

A Clinical Decision Support Framework for Incremental Polyps Classification in Virtual Colonoscopy

Algorithms, 2010
We present in this paper a novel dynamic learning method for classifying polyp candidate detections in Computed Tomographic Colonography (CTC) using an adaptation of the Least Square Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM).

Risk of cancer in small and diminutive colorectal polyps [PDF]

, 2017
The prevalence of cancer in small and diminutive polyps is relevant to “resect and discard” and CT colonography reporting recommendations. We evaluated a prospectively collected colonoscopy polyp database to identify polyps

Colorectal Cancer Screening: Tests, Strategies, and Perspectives [PDF]

, 2014
Screening has a central role in colorectal cancer (CRC) control. Different screening tests are effective in reducing CRC-specific mortality. Influence on cancer incidence depends on test sensitivity for pre-malignant lesions, ranging from almost no ...

Diagnostic performance of CT colonography with limited cathartic preparation in colorectal cancer screening; comparison with conventional colonoscopy

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2015
Purpose: To prospectively evaluate the diagnostic performance of computed tomographic colonography with limited bowel preparation for the depiction of colorectal polyps, by using conventional colonoscopy as the gold standard technique.

Preoperative staging of colorectal cancer using virtual colonoscopy: correlation with surgical results [PDF]

, 2015
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical usefulness of computed tomography colonography (CTC) in the preoperative staging in patients with abdominal pain for occlusive colorectal cancer (CRC) and to compare the results of CTC with the surgical ...

Novel 3D Radiomic Features for Computer-Aided Polyp Detection in CT Colonography

IEEE Access, 2018
State-of-the-art computer-aided detection (CAD) systems for colonic polyps in computed tomographic colonography (CTC) tend to yield high detection sensitivities with high false positive (FP) rates.
