Computer-assisted polyp matching between optical colonoscopy and CT colonography: a phantom study

open access: yes, 2015
Potentially precancerous polyps detected with CT colonography (CTC) need to be removed subsequently, using an optical colonoscope (OC). Due to large colonic deformations induced by the colonoscope, even very experienced colonoscopists find it difficult ...

Developing patient-refined colorectal cancer screening materials: application of a virtual community engagement approach

open access: yesBMC Gastroenterology, 2023
Introduction In partnership with a federally qualified health center (FQHC), an adapted virtual version of boot camp translation (BCT) was used to elicit input from Spanish-speaking Latino patients and staff to develop messaging and patient education ...

Crowdsourcing for Identification of Polyp-Free Segments in Virtual Colonoscopy Videos

open access: yes, 2017
Virtual colonoscopy (VC) allows a physician to virtually navigate within a reconstructed 3D colon model searching for colorectal polyps. Though VC is widely recognized as a highly sensitive and specific test for identifying polyps, one limitation is the ...

Colorectal Cancer Screening [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The USPSTF gives Colorectal Cancer screening a Grade A recommendation, beginning at age 50 years and continuing until age 75 years. Screening colonoscopies are proven to show dramatic decreased incidence and mortality from colorectal cancer. This project

GPU-accelerated Polyp Detection in Virtual Colonoscopy

open access: yesCLEI Electronic Journal, 2013
Nowadays, Virtual Colonoscopy (VC) is an important non-invasive alternative for the study of the colon. Substantial research efforts have been dedicated to this method, and one of the major challenges has always been producing accurate results in a short

Colon centreline calculation for CT colonography using optimised 3D opological thinning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
CT colonography is an emerging technique for colorectal cancer screening. This technique facilitates noninvasive imaging of the colon interior by generating virtual reality models of the colon lumen.

A Soft Matrix Microenvironment Promotes Laterally Spreading Tumors via Oxidative Phosphorylation‐Dependent Cell Adhesion

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) are precancerous colorectal lesions characterized by a flat morphology. This study reveals a mechanochemical pathway through which a soft matrix microenvironment diminishes spatial constraints in intestinal adenomas. This process promotes deficiencies in tight junction proteins, mediated by the mechanoreceptor ADORA2B ...

Colonoscopy procedure simulation: virtual reality training based on a real time computational approach

open access: yesBioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2018
Background Colonoscopy plays an important role in the clinical screening and management of colorectal cancer. The traditional ‘see one, do one, teach one’ training style for such invasive procedure is resource intensive and ineffective.

Endoscopic Skills Training: The Impact of Virtual Exercises on Simulated Colonoscopy

open access: yesGE: Portuguese Journal of Gastroenterology, 2022
Background: A previous study suggested that psychomotor training improves the performance on colonoscopy. Since then, newer exercises have been included in the latest generation of GI Mentor®. In order to optimize a colonoscopy training program, we aimed
