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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Undertaking both PET and CT scans during a single examination (PET/CT) permits more accurate functional and morphological imaging than either technique alone. German researchers, therefore, developed ...
