VC shows high diagnostic yield after failed colonoscopy
By Eric Barnes
Virtual colonoscopy finds significant pathology in patients referred after failed colonoscopy, according to a study presented at the Digestive Disease Week meeting in New Orleans. The results show the need for a complete colon exam and highlight VC's strengths in detecting extracolonic abnormalities.

One-time sigmoidoscopy screening prevents colorectal cancer
By Reuters Health
NEW YORK (Reuters Health), Apr 28 - Flexible sigmoidoscopy reduces colorectal cancer incidence and mortality, British researchers reported online April 28 in the Lancet. Offered once to people ages 55 to 64, the procedure lowered the incidence of colorectal cancers by as much as one-third and cancer-specific mortality by up to 43%.

Small colon polyps on VC suggest presence of larger lesions
By Eric Barnes
Individuals with several diminutive colon polyps on virtual colonoscopy studies are far more likely than other screening subjects to also have a larger colorectal lesion, say researchers from the University of Munich in Germany.

Open-source software increases colon polyp conspicuity
By Eric Barnes
Visibility of colon polyps is increased and sensitivity improved with the use of threshold-based color-coding software in virtual colonoscopy, according to a new study from Italy. Even flat lesions were more often visible with use of the open-source 2D-based interpretation software.

Blood infection risk extremely low with VC
By Eric Barnes
The risk of bloodstream infections such as bacteremia leading to endocarditis is extremely low in virtual colonoscopy -- in fact, infection rates are probably even lower than in conventional colonoscopy, say researchers from Ireland, the U.K., and the U.S.

Diverticular disease favors prone over supine VC images
By Eric Barnes
Diverticular disease, an unfortunate result of low-fiber Western diets that increases in incidence with age to burden most of the elderly population, has a friend in virtual colonoscopy. That's because VC generally provides an easier colon exam for both patient and provider than conventional colonoscopy.

One-day bowel prep eases VC for patients, providers
By Eric Barnes
VIENNA - A one-day bowel prep and virtual colonoscopy exam regimen offers sufficiently good image quality, making life easier for both patients and providers compared to a multiday regimen, according to a study presented Sunday at the European Congress of Radiology.
