Comparison of 64-Detector CT Colonography and Conventional Colonoscopy in the Detection of Colorectal Lesions
BACKGROUND Colon cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. The early detection of colorectal cancer using screening programs is important for managing early-stage colorectal cancers and polyps. Modalities that allow examination of the entire colon are conventional colonoscopy, double contrast barium enema examination and multi-detector computed tomography (MDC...
متن کاملCT colonography versus colonoscopy for the detection of advanced neoplasia.
BACKGROUND Advanced neoplasia represents the primary target for colorectal-cancer screening and prevention. We compared the diagnostic yield from parallel computed tomographic colonography (CTC) and optical colonoscopy (OC) screening programs. METHODS We compared primary CTC screening in 3120 consecutive adults (mean [+/-SD] age, 57.0+/-7.2 years) with primary OC screening in 3163 consecutive...
متن کاملPolyp Segmentation Method for CT Colonography Computer Aided Detection
We have developed a new method employing the Canny edge detector and Radon transformation to segment images of polyp candidates for CT colonography (CTC) computer aided polyp detection and obtain features useful for distinguishing true polyps from false positive detections. The technique is applied to two-dimensional subimages of polyp candidates selected using various 3-D shape and curvature c...
متن کاملSurface Curvature Line Clustering for Polyp Detection in CT Colonography
Automatic polyp detection is a helpful addition to laborious visual inspection in CT colonography. Traditional detection methods are based on calculating image features at discrete positions on the colon wall. However large-scale surface shapes are not captured. This paper presents a novel approach to aggregate surface shape information for automatic polyp detection. The iso-surface of the colo...
متن کاملCT colonography: does improved z resolution help computer-aided polyp detection?
Multislice helical CT offers several retrospective choices of longitudinal (z) resolution at a given detector collimation setting. We sought to determine the effect of z resolution on the performance of a computer-aided colonic polyp detector, since a human reader and a computer-aided polyp detector may have optimal performances at different z resolutions. We ran a computer-aided polyp detectio...
