Fig. 1A 80-year-old woman with large colon polyp. Lesion missed by all
observers on CT colonography. CT colonographic scan (A) shows location
of lesion (arrowheads). Colonoscopic image (B) shows flat
adenoma 2 cm from anus covering half of circumference of rectum. Water-filled
balloon obscured flat lesion in rectum. Deflating balloon in prone position or
using air-inflated balloon probably would have increased conspicuity of
polyp.
