Article Synopsis
- Cathartic bowel preparation is a significant hurdle for people undergoing colorectal cancer screening; this study evaluated the effectiveness of noncathartic CT colonography (CTC) using different barium and iodine regimens in 564 asymptomatic participants.!*
-
- The study found that 7% of subjects had adenomatous polyps of 6 mm or larger, and the inclusion of iodine oral contrast significantly enhanced stool tagging and specificity of the CTC.!*
-
- Overall, the sensitivity of noncathartic CTC for detecting polyps was about 76%, and the use of electronic cleansing helped improve visibility of larger polyps, showing promise for more effective screenings without the need for typical bowel preparation.*
