A newly adapted low-dose computed tomography (CT) technique called adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) can help radiologists reduce the already low radiation dose delivered during CT ...

A new study shows that positron emission tomography (PET) -- a molecular imaging technique -- combined with computer tomography (CT) colonography may provide a suitable alternative for detecting ...

The findings from a multicenter, screening trial of CT colonography for the detection of large adenomas demonstrated the benefit of this noninvasive technique for assessing patients with an average ...

Using CT colonography* as an additional primary colorectal cancer screening test could lead to substantially greater participation in screening programmes compared with conventional colonoscopy, ...

The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic utility of contrast-enhanced CT colonography for postoperative surveillance in patients who had curative colon cancer resection and remain without ...

In this second U.S. multisite study of computed tomographic (CT) colonography, 615 adults (50 or older) who had been referred to nine centers (8 U.S. and 1 U.K.) for various clinical indications ...

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 ...
