Extracolonic lesions: Find them if you can
By Eric Barnes
Identifying unexpected findings can save a patient's life, but a potential downside is always lurking on the road to follow-up and intervention. So what should radiologists do about extracolonic findings in VC? Look for them, by all means, and tell the patient what you find, according to a presentation at the recent International Symposium on Virtual Colonoscopy.

New data reveal higher efficacy for primary VC screening
By Eric Barnes
BOSTON - Across most of the U.S., virtual colonoscopy practice is a low-volume affair, relegated by lack of reimbursement to a few diagnostic indications and follow-up after incomplete colonoscopies. But clinicians and researchers at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics in Madison have built a bustling VC practice based primarily on reimbursed screening exams for mostly asymptomatic subjects 50 and older.

Polyp surveillance risk may be acceptably low
By Eric Barnes
BOSTON - Many gastroenterologists are uncomfortable with radiologists' practice of generally leaving medium-sized colonic polyps in the patient unless they grow larger than 10 mm. The studies, though few, suggest that the risks of surveillance may be acceptably low, and virtual colonoscopy researchers are conducting new studies to find out more.

Advanced electronic cleansing preserves soft tissues in VC
By Eric Barnes
A new electronic cleaning method goes beyond simple thresholding-based schemes for distinguishing tagged fluid and fecal material from polyps and folds in virtual colonoscopy. By analyzing the soft-tissue structures associated with submerged polyps and folds rather than just attenuation, the method yields significantly more accurate results with fewer false positives, both with and without CAD.

Timing is everything in contrast-enhanced CT
By Wayne Forrest
When imaging the abdominal aorta and the lower extremity arterial tree in patients with peripheral arterial occlusion disease (PAOD), matching the contrast injection to when CT scanning begins in those regions is key. Researchers at Stanford University have developed protocols for optimal wait times between contrast injection and the start of CT imaging based on the time it takes the bolus to reach the abdominal aorta or arterial tree.
