Trends in CT colonography

Current Gastroenterology Reports, 2001
CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) is a safe, noninvasive method of examining the large bowel. Since its first description in 1994, the technique has undergone rapid development, stimulating considerable interest in its potential as both a diagnostic and screening tool.

CT colonography: an update

European Radiology, 2007
Computed tomographic (CT) colonography (CTC)--also known as "virtual colonoscopy"--was first described more than a decade ago. As advancements in scanner technology and three-dimensional (3D) postprocessing helped develop this method to mature into a potential option in screening for colorectal cancer, the fundamentals of the examination remained the ...

CT colonography screening

The Lancet Oncology, 2012
1on the use of colonoscopy versus non-cathartic CT colonography in population-based screening for colorectal cancer. The investigators should be congratulated for focusing their trial on whether participation with CT colonography is substantially higher than with colonoscopy and thus leads to similar advanced neoplasia detection rates.

CT colonography standards

Clinical Radiology, 2010
Computed tomography (CT) colonography is the established successor to the barium enema for the detection of colonic neoplasia due to superior performance and patient experience. Consequently, CT colonography is widely disseminated across Western populations and increasingly provided by both subspecialist and general radiologists alike.

Errors in CT colonography

Abdominal Imaging, 2015
CT colonography (CTC) is a colorectal cancer screening modality which is becoming more widely implemented and has shown polyp detection rates comparable to those of optical colonoscopy. CTC has the potential to improve population screening rates due to its minimal invasiveness, no sedation requirement, potential for reduced cathartic examination ...

Screening CT colonography

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2003
CT colonography (Virtual Colonoscopy) was first introduced in 1994 as a novel imaging technique for the detection of colorectal polyps and cancer. It is currently proposed as a new screening tool for colorectal carcinoma that may be more acceptable to patients than current methods.

Extracolonic Findings at CT Colonography

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2010
Computed tomographic colonography (CTC) is a validated tool for the evaluation of the colon for polyps and cancer. The technique employed for CTC includes a low-dose CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis that is typically performed without the administration of intravenous contrast.

CT colonography: an overview

Abdominal Imaging, 2002
Computer technology affects nearly every aspect of our daily lives, with electronic tools performing feats once possible only in science fiction movies. Computed tomographic (CT) colonography (CTC; or virtual colonoscopy) is one of many offspring of this computer revolution. CTC can produce images that resemble scenes from The Fantastic Voyage by using

CT and CT Colonography

2013
Computed tomography (CT) can identify with accuracy locally advanced colon cancer and liver metastases but it cannot diagnose peritoneal carcinomatosis. CT can identify T3/T4 tumors with more than 5 mm extramural depth which are candidates for neoadjuvant therapy.

Bowel preparation for CT colonography

European Journal of Radiology, 2013
Bowel preparation represents an essential part of CT colonography, as the accuracy of the exam is strongly related to the adequacy of colonic cleansing, and a poor bowel preparation may compromise the diagnostic quality even despite optimization of all other acquisition parameters.
