CT Colonography Predictably Overestimates Colonic Length and Distance to Polyps Compared With Optical Colonoscopy
American Journal of Roentgenology, 11/04/09

Duncan JE et al. – Anus–to–cecum and anus–to–polyp distances are disparate but comparable using a conversion factor of 0.57 for the CTC anus–to–cecum measurement and 0.59 for right–sided CTC anus–to–polyp or 0.78 for left–sided CTC anus–to–polyp measurements. These anus–to–polyp conversion factors could potentially augment current CTC guidelines for accurate and precise polyp localization and removal at endoscopy.
