Comparison of CT colonography vs. conventional colonoscopy in mapping the segmental location of colon cancer before surgery
Abdominal Imaging , 09/24/09
Neri E et al. – Specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CTC in determining the precise location of colonic masses were respectively 100%, 96%, 85%, and 100%. CT detected hepatic and lung metastases. CT colonography has better performance in the identification of colonic masses, in the completion of colonic evaluation and in the segmental localization of tumor. CTC should replace colonoscopy for preoperative staging of colorectal cancer.
