OBJECTIVE. CT colonography (CTC) is a recommended test for colorectal cancer (CRC)
screening according to the updated 2008 American Cancer Society guidelines. CTC can …

Background & Aims: To date, computed tomographic (CT) colonography has been
compared with an imperfect test, colonoscopy, and has been mainly assessed in patients …

Results: Conventional colonoscopy detected 15 colorectal carcinomas and 52 polyps. CTC
correctly identified all carcinomas, 13 of 14 polyps greater than 10.0 mm (sensitivity 92.8%; …

PURPOSE: To evaluate computed tomographic (CT) colonography as a screening tool for
average-risk asymptomatic subjects with regard to participation, acceptability, and safety …

Many professional societies in the United States recommend screening for colorectal cancer
in asymptomatic, average-risk adults, beginning at 50 years of age. Screening achieves two …

Background In addition to detecting colorectal neoplasia, abdominal computed tomography
(CT) with colonography technique (CTC) can also detect unsuspected extracolonic cancers …

Background & Aims: We developed a risk index to identify low-risk patients who may be
screened for colorectal cancer with computerized tomographic colonography (CTC) instead …

OBJECTIVES: Fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) and sigmoidoscopy are proven to decrease
colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality. Sigmoidoscopy's benefit is limited to the …

There are several modalities available for a colorectal cancer (CRC) screening program.
When determining which CRC screening program to implement, the costs of such programs …
