  • Virtual Colonography
    Virtual Colonography Radiologists at the VCU Medical Center were among the first in Virginia to develop, test and adopt for routine use a more patient-friendly way to screen for colon polyps and colon cancer. The noninvasive treatment procedure known medically as - Virtual Colonography (VC) or CT Colonography (CTC) - uses computed tomography (CT) scanning to determine whether or not colon polyps are present. Because Virtual Colonography does not require the use of a colonoscope as in a conventional colonoscopy procedure, it is sometimes referred to as a “Virtual Colonoscopy”. What makes Virtual Colonography an ideal option for screening? Because the procedure is noninvasive, safe, quick (lasting only a few minutes), and does not require sedation, Virtual Colonography is an excellent screening technology, and often preferred by patients over the conventional or standard colonoscopy. There are no risks of complications such as bowel perforation or complications from sedation associated with standard colonoscopy. Patients may return to their usual activities as soon as the test is over. Virtual Colonography also allows for evaluation of the entire colon, something a standard colonoscopy may not be able to do in all cases because normal twists and turns in the large intestines make navigating the colonoscope difficult. Virtual Colonography is accurate in identifying significant polyps and offers an alternative screening option for those who are simply not willing to undergo conventional colonoscopy, which is invasive, can be uncomfortable, and requires sedation. How accurate is Virtual Colonography compared to conventional colonoscopy? Early studies show that Virtual Colonography is comparable to conventional colonoscopy in terms of identifying polyps six millimeters or greater in size.

CT Colonography: A Visual, Noninvasive, and Patient-Friendly Colorectal Cancer Screening Option A CLINICAL MONOGRAPH Bracco Diagnostics Inc. is committed to helping decrease morbidity and mortality rates in the United States due to colorectal cancer… Colorectal cancer (CRC) is currently the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States.1,2 Early detection and removal of early-stage cancers or precancerous adenomatous polyps has been shown to significantly reduce mortality from CRC.3,4 The American Cancer Society (ACS) currently recommends that men and women of average risk should begin CRC screening at age 50.5 Optical colonoscopy (OC) has been the most widely adopted visual screening method for CRC; however, screening rates with OC are hampered by the invasive nature of the exam, the need for extensive bowel prep, and the use of anesthesia. Computed tomography colonography (CTC), sometimes referred to as virtual colonoscopy, represents a visual, noninvasive, patient-friendly option that healthcare professionals can use for CRC screening in asymptomatic adults of average risk.6,7 CTC is associated with very high patient satisfaction that may contribute to improved adherence rates, attracting individuals who might otherwise forego screening.8–11 This clinical monograph is designed to help healthcare professionals learn more about CTC as an option for CRC screening.

  • Colorectal Cancer Screening
    Colorectal Cancer Screening What is colorectal cancer screening? Screening examinations are tests performed to identify disease in individuals who lack any signs or symptoms. The primary goal of cancer screening is to detect cancer at its earliest stage, when treatment is still an option. However, the primary goal of colorectal cancer screening is to identify abnormal growths, known as polyps, well before the polyps become cancerous. In order to be endorsed by the medical community, a screening program must meet a number of criteria (https://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info/safety-hiw_05) , including reducing the number of deaths from the given disease. Many options exist for individuals who are interested in undergoing screening for colorectal cancer, including: Computed tomography colonography (CTC), also called virtual colonoscopy, a test in which low-dose CT scanning is used to produce pictures of the colon and rectum. Colonoscopy, a test that examines the rectum and entire colon using a long, lighted instrument called a colonoscope. Double-contrast barium enema, also called lower GI tract radiography (https://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info/lowergi) , a test in which a barium solution and air are introduced into the colon and a series of x-rays are taken of the entire colon and rectum. A single-contrast barium enema that produces images using x-ray and a barium solution without air is also available for select situations. Sigmoidoscopy, a test that examines the rectum and lower colon using a lighted instrument called a sigmoidoscope. Screening examinations for detection only of colorectal cancer include: Fecal occult blood test (FOBT) or fecal immunochemical test that checks for hidden blood in fecal material (stool).
