In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the number of CT scans performed, both
in the US and the UK, which has fuelled concern about the long-term consequences of these …

Purpose To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies assessing
the sensitivity of both computed tomographic (CT) colonography and optical colonoscopy …

Background and aims: This prospective trial was designed to compare the performance
characteristics of five different screening tests in parallel for the detection of advanced …

PURPOSE: To assess the methodologic quality of available data in published reports of
computed tomographic (CT) colonography by performing systematic review and meta …

AIM: To determine the accuracy of computed tomography (CT) in detecting disease with
invasion beyond the muscularis propria (MP) and malignant lymph nodes. MATERIALS AND …

Context Computed tomographic (CT) colonography has been recognized as an alternative
for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in average-risk individuals, but less information is …

Background & Aims: We prospectively compared the performance of low-dose multidetector
computed tomographic colonography (CTC) without cathartic preparation with that of …

Objectives Previous meta-analyses on CT-colonography included both average and high
risk individuals, which may overestimate the diagnostic value in screening. A meta-analysis …

Background & Aims: Computed tomography colonography (CTC), particularly using
noncathartic techniques, has the clear potential to increase compliance for colorectal cancer …

INTRODUCTION: Published studies have reported a wide range of sensitivities and
specificities for computed tomographic (CT) colonography for polyp detection, generating …
