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.

VC obviates need for colonoscopy even in symptomatic patients
By Eric Barnes
Even among individuals with symptoms suggesting a higher risk of colorectal polyps and cancer, virtual colonoscopy screening is enough to prevent most of them from having to undergo invasive colonoscopy, according to a recent study from the Netherlands.

New ultrasound techniques show promise in thyroid nodules
By Erik L. Ridley
Differentiating benign from malignant thyroid nodules can be difficult, but advanced ultrasound applications such as elastography, computer-assisted analysis, and 3D ultrasound may make that challenge a little easier, according to a trio of presentations at the 2009 RSNA meeting in Chicago.

New VC CAD algorithm reveals submucosal colon cancers
By Eric Barnes
A new computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm goes beyond flat-polyp detection to find submucosally invading colorectal cancers with virtual colonoscopy. Researchers say the software offers an important alternative to traditional CAD feature classification that could improve the sensitivity of all VC studies.
