Abstract

Abstract CT colonography (CTC) is growing in its utilization and availability as a screening or diagnostic test for colorectal cancer detection. Its performance stands up to optical colonoscopy and it has become a growing alternative in many situations. This leaves a rising need for training and proficiency in how to perform and interpret CTC. Optimization of exam technique and colonic preparation raises the detection rate of colorectal lesions and renders interpretation easier. Since colorectal cancer remains the second most common cause of cancer death in the United States in men and women combined, the role for CTC is further fortified.
