VC path-planning technique maximizes observable mucosa
By Eric Barnes
The complex shape of the human colon makes manual planning difficult and time-consuming, and traditional path-planning tools can produce significant blind spots. So researchers from South Korea developed a new way of reducing unexamined regions of the colon, based on automated path planning.

VC acquisition: Simple steps optimize imaging results
By Eric Barnes
Recent virtual colonoscopy studies are stark proof of the power of acquisition protocols to affect sensitivity, according to a leading VC researcher. When the virtual exam is performed correctly, he said, its accuracy rivals that of conventional colonoscopy. When the protocol is wrong, the results are unacceptable.

Serious extracolonic findings prevalent in screening, symptomatic VC patients
By Eric Barnes
Asymptomatic screening subjects were nearly as likely as symptomatic patients to have extracolonic findings at virtual colonoscopy, radiologists in Italy have reported. The study, in a very mixed population of symptomatic and screening patients, also found a similarly high prevalence of serious extracolonic pathologies between the two groups.

Colon CAD: VC's extra eyes face new challenges
By Eric Barnes
Prototype colon CAD systems are proliferating, and thanks to years of painstaking development work they're doing a pretty good job, outperforming all but the best radiologists in the detection of colonic lesions. VC CAD expert Dr. Hiro Yoshida from Harvard Medical School in Boston discusses the major innovations that have produced today's complex CAD systems, and the moving target CAD developers face in keeping up with new performance standards.

No, according to Korean clinicians who advocate a single modality exam with MRI for evaluating liver donors. Dutch researchers also recommend MR angiography (MRA) over digital substracation angiography (DSA) for assessing kidney donors.
