Background: The aim of this Delphi study was to reach consensus on a new clinical decision tool to help identify or exclude Crohn's disease (CD) in patients with perianal fistula(s) (PAF).
Methods: A panel of international experts in the field of proctology/Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) were invited to participate. In the first round (electronic survey), participants were asked to anonymously provide their opinion probing 1) the relevance and use of clinical characteristics suggestive of underlying CD, 2) the use of faecal calprotectin (FCP) for screening for CD and 3) on the diagnostic work-up for CD in PAF patients with raised clinical suspicion.
Background: Recent studies have focused on evaluating the biomarker value of textural features in radiological images. Our study investigated whether or not a texture analysis of computed tomographic colonography (CTC) images could be a novel biomarker for colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: This retrospective study investigated 263 patients with CRC who underwent contrast-enhanced CTC (CE-CTC) before curative surgery between January 2014 and December 2017.

The potential of telemedicine also appears promising in structurally weak areas or in the involvement of experts in emergency situations.
