Computed tomographic (CT) colonography is a new-generation technique for detecting
colorectal neoplasms by using volumetric CT data combined with specialized imaging …

Over the past decade, computed tomographic (CT) colonography (also known as virtual
colonoscopy) has been used to investigate the colon for colorectal neoplasia. Numerous …

Background Virtual colonoscopy is a new method of imaging the colon in which thin-section,
helical computed tomography (CT) is used to generate high-resolution, two-dimensional …

BACKGROUND & AIMS:: This study used a low lesion prevalence population reflective of
the screening setting to estimate the sensitivity and specificity of computerized tomographic …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the use of preoperative virtual colonoscopy to examine the proximal
colon in patients with distal occlusive carcinomas, defined as cancers that cannot be …

PURPOSE: To prospectively compare thin-section low-dose multi–detector row computed
tomographic (CT) colonography with conventional colonoscopy for the detection of …

PURPOSE: To test the feasibility of and improve a computer algorithm to automatically
detect colonic polyps in real human computed tomographic (CT) colonographic data sets …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of CT colonography when
patients were imaged in both the supine and prone positions. We evaluated whether …

An abdominal computed tomographic scan was modified by inserting 10 simulated colonic
polyps with use of methods that closely mimic the attenuation, noise, and polyp–colon wall …
