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 ...

Philadelphia (Feb. 23, 2012) — Computerized tomographic (CT) colonography (CTC), also known as virtual colonoscopy, is comparable to standard colonoscopy in its ability to accurately detect cancer and ...

CT-scan-based form of virtual colonoscopy requiring no laxative preparation emerges to be as effective as standard colonoscopy in spotting the intestinal polyps likeliest to turn cancerous. In the May ...

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 ...

A prospective cohort study evaluated 2,600 participants aged 50 years and older who had colon cancer screening with multidetector CT colonography and same-day colonoscopy (N Engl J Med.

A type of noninvasive &#34;virtual colonoscopy&#34; can diagnose medium to large polyps as well as traditional colorectal probes can, but it may miss some smaller yet potentially cancerous growths, ...

Compared to stool DNA testing, researchers found that CT colonography is a cost-saving and clinically effective method for colorectal cancer screening, according to a study was published today in ...
