| Abstract: | The article discusses studies that determine the significance of virtual colonoscopy in cancer screening. This study is based on a multicenter study signifying that virtual colonoscopy has compared well with traditional colonoscopy in the detection of polyps, while 2 other studies did not. In December 2003, Dr. Perry Pickhardt and colleagues found out that computed tomography colonography (CTC) compared well with colonoscopy in detecting polyps in asymptotic adults. In April 2004, Dr. Peter Cotton and colleagues found that CTC was not ready for main stream clinical use until a significant amount of enhancement took place in the use of this technology. In January 2005, Dr. Don Rockey and colleagues also found that CTC is less sensitive for detecting polyps when compared with colonoscopy. INSETS: What patients can expect during a virtual co!onoscopy;Remove that polyp? With virtual colonoscopy, it's not automatic. |
