CT colonography reduced the incidence of colorectal cancer by up to 75% versus no screening, while stool DNA testing reduced the incidence by 59%. Stool testing was cost-effective relative to no ...

Background: Computerized tomographic (CT) colonography is a potential alternative to colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening. Its main advantage, a better safety profile, may be offset by its ...

CT colonography allows radiologists to predict, with a high degree of confidence, whether or not a polyp needs to be evaluated through colonoscopy or removed through polypectomy, according to a study ...

The risk of developing cancer as a result of being exposed to X-rays during computed tomography colonography (also known as "virtual colonoscopy" or CT colonography) is considerably less than 1 ...

CT colonography is a less invasive, better targeted and sufficiently accurate alternative to colonoscopy for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in the general population. Daniele Regge and colleagues ...

Computed tomography (CT) colonography is a more cost-effective and more clinically effective method for colorectal cancer screening, compared to stool DNA testing (mt-sDNA), new research published in ...

Decrease in CRC Resections Tied to Medicare-Covered Screening For older patients who undergo computed tomography colonography (CTC), the rates of referral to colonoscopy and prevalence of advanced ...

Leesburg, VA, March 12, 2021--According to an open-access article in ARRS' American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), compared with multi-target stool-DNA (mt-sDNA) and fecal immunochemical test (FIT), ...

Two randomized controlled trials conducted within the SIGGAR study have reported efficacy results. In patients with symptoms of colorectal cancer, CT colonography should replace barium enema and is a ...

Advanced neoplasia represents the primary target for colorectal-cancer screening and prevention. We compared the diagnostic yield from parallel computed tomographic colonography (CTC) and optical ...

Computed tomographic (CT) colonography is used to examine the colon and rectum to detect abnormalities such as polyps and cancer. Polyps may be adenomatous (which have the potential to become ...

Images of positive CT colonography (CTC) screening examination result in an asymptomatic 67-year-old man. Three-dimensional colon map from CTC (left image) shows the location of two sigmoid polyps ...
