EDDA Technology
By Brian Casey
(Booth 6534) CAD is beginning to shed its reliance on standalone workstations and is moving toward a more network-focused model. In its RSNA booth, EDDA Technology of Princeton Junction, NJ, will demonstrate its tracking of this trend by introducing CAD technology designed to be accessed via PACS workstations throughout a healthcare enterprise.

Italian multicenter VC trial screens higher-risk cohort
By Eric Barnes
BOSTON - One of the largest virtual colonoscopy trials ever aimed at a higher-risk screening population has yielded good results across 12 sites in Italy. Researchers presented the first results of the study on Tuesday at the International Symposium on Virtual Colonoscopy.

Positive trial results boost VC's prospects for broader screening role
By Eric Barnes
BOSTON - To those in attendance at the opening of the International Symposium on Virtual Colonoscopy on Monday, the outlook for virtual colonoscopy appeared bright. In the run up to this year's meeting, two major studies released in as many weeks had judged the virtual exam equivalent to optical colonoscopy in important measures of efficacy, lending more support for including virtual colonoscopy as a colorectal cancer screening option.

Study of two large screening cohorts favors VC over OC
By Eric Barnes
In one of the largest studies so far to compare virtual colonoscopy and optical colonoscopy screening results, the two exams showed very similar detection rates for advanced adenomas in two similar cohorts, according to researchers from the University of Wisconsin Medical School in Madison.

Polyp ranking scheme boosts CAD efficiency
By Eric Barnes
When virtual colonoscopy computer-aided detection (CAD) software is set to achieve maximum sensitivity for polyp detection, it also tends to output large numbers of false positives. But when sensitivity is set too low, true positives are missed. A new method aims to speed up CAD processing by determining from the start which polyps are likely to be deemed false positives, then eliminating them from further analysis.

ACRIN trial shows VC ready for widespread use
By Eric Barnes
ARLINGTON, VA - Trial results unveiled today marked the apparent end of a long road to validation for virtual colonoscopy, a radiology-based colon screening exam whose advocates have toiled for more than a decade to show equivalent detection sensitivity in a large screening trial compared to more invasive optical colonoscopy.

Coronary artery disease linked to colon cancer
By Eric Barnes
Patients who learn they have coronary artery disease (CAD) might be wise to get more screening. New research links the presence of coronary artery disease at angiography to a high likelihood of colorectal polyps and cancer at colonoscopy. The study in the Journal of the American Medical Association revealed more new information about individual risk factors than about the general association between heart and colon disease.
