Abstract

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to detail an approach to CT colonographic screening that has evolved at one institution.

CONCLUSION. CT colonography is a rapidly advancing technology that has great potential for addressing a deadly but preventable disease—colorectal carcinoma. CT colonography is ideally suited for widespread screening of asymptomatic adults and has become an integral component of the screening efforts at my institution since local third-party coverage was initiated.

Keywords: colorectal cancer • colorectal polyps • CT colonography • screening • virtual colonoscopy
