CT Colonography: Perforation Rates and Potential Radiation Risks

CT colonography and colorectal screening.

CT colonography standards.

Computed tomography (CT) colonography is the established successor to the barium enema for the detection of colonic neoplasia due to superior performance and patient experience. Consequently, CT colonography is widely disseminated across Western populations and increasingly provided by both subspecialist and general radiologists alike. As a result, CT colonography is now part of the core traini...

Case Report: Rectal perforation during CT colonography [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

Introduction Computer tomography colonoscopy (CTC) is an increasingly prevalent procedure for the investigation of colorectal symptoms, or as a component of colorectal cancer screening. It is considered a low risk procedure, however colonic perforation is a recognized significant complication. Case Report We report the case of an 81-year-old female patient who underwent CTC after failed optical...
