Colon cancer is the third most common malignancy in Canada. Computed tomography colonography (CTC) provides a creditable and validated option for colon screening and assessment of known pathology in patients for whom conventional colonoscopy is contraindicated or where patients self-select to use imaging as their primary modality for initial colonic assessment. This updated guideline aims to provide a toolkit for both experienced imagers (and technologists) and for those considering launching this examination in their practice.

Purpose: This article reviews the current evidence surrounding pancreatic cancer screening. The current targets of screening include identification of early pancreatic cancer, as well as the two most important precursor lesions; intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and high grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia. Given the relatively low incidence of pancreatic adenocarcinoma in the general population, patients with elevated risk based on family history or an underlying genetic syndrome are felt to be the most appropriate patients to undergo screening.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of balanced steady-state free precession MR venography in the diagnosis of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis.

Subjects And Methods: After undergoing lower extremity ultrasound because of suspicion of deep venous thrombosis, 64 patients were prospectively recruited to undergo balanced steady-state free precession MR venography with ultrasound as the reference standard. Ultrasound images were independently interpreted by two blinded ultrasound radiologists, and MR venograms were independently interpreted by two blinded MRI radiologists.
