摘要
CT colonography is an evolving noninvasive imaging technique that allows detection of colorectal polyps and cancers. When assessing the clinical results of this test, several points need to be emphasized. First, as computed tomography (CT) technology improves, so will clinical results. Therefore, earlier results reporting the accuracy of CT colonography may not be applicable to the current state of the art. Second, as clinical experience has grown, an understanding of the limitations and pitfalls of the technique has increased. A learning curve is involved and, with increased experience, results should improve. This article will focus on the evolving clinical results of CT colonography. Copyright © 2001 by W.B.
