VR in medicine: Virtual colonoscopy
Future Generation Computer Systems, 1998Colon/rectal cancer is the second most common cause of death, yet among the most preventable when detected in its early stages. The traditional diagnostic procedures cause tremendous discomfort and are deeply invasive. The motivation for this work is firstly to develop an alternative technique to visualise the inner mucosal surface of the colonic wall.

Virtual colonoscopy: clinical application
European Radiology Supplements, 2005Virtual colonoscopy (VC), also known as computed tomography Colonography (CTC), is a non-invasive test for the examination of the colon based on volumetric, thin-collimation CT acquisition of a cleansed and air-distended colon. The technique is easy, less labour-intensive than barium enema and conventional colonoscopy, and is inherently safer.

Abdominal Imaging, 2002The most important diagnostic performance of virtual colonoscopy is the ability to detect colorectal polyps. However, its diagnostic value for evaluation of patients undergoing incomplete colonoscopy and the ability to detect unsuspected extracolonic findings are also important diagnostic features.
