Abstract

Computed tomographic colonography (CTC) has been reported to be as effective as optical colonoscopy in the detection of significant adenomas. However, there are widely conflicting performance data in relation to detection of flat neoplasia. This article describes the potential and limitations of CTC and computer-aided diagnosis in the detection of flat neoplasms.
