Three-dimensional software developer Voxar will launch its Colonscreen virtual colonoscopy software at next week's RSNA meeting in Chicago. A complete virtual colonoscopy workflow and reporting application, Colonscreen allows radiologists to interpret and generate a report from CT or MR studies, typically within 10 minutes, according to the Edinburgh, Scotland-based vendor.
Colonscreen provides 2-D and 3-D views of a patient's insufflated colon, and offers real-time manipulation of colon image data and a comprehensive reporting system that conveys patient information to referring clinicians, according to Voxar. Hospital and imaging centers handling one Colonscreen study per day can achieve a return on their investment within four months of implementation, according to the vendor.

![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
