In order to determine the relative yields of colonoscopic and radiologic examinations of the colon, the following guidelines are suggested: (a) prospective data collection; (b) a standard, effective colon cleansing regimen; (c) colonoscopic and radiologic examiners of comparable expertise; (d) examiners should be unaware of each other's findings; (e) a suitable method for demonstrating false-negative findings and for resolving conflicting findings between the two examinations; and (f) indexing of the study findings as to lesion size, lesion location, quality of colon cleansing, and examiner's level of confidence. The two examinations should be used as complementary diagnostic procedures.

Comparison of colonoscopic versus fluoroscopic colonic manometry catheter placement in children.
J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr
December 2024
Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics, Nationwide Children's Hospital, Columbus, Ohio, USA.
Objectives: Colonic manometry catheter placement can be performed by colonoscopy or fluoroscopy. Our objective was to compare outcomes of colonoscopic to fluoroscopic catheter placement in children based on the extent of colon study and the likelihood of catheter displacement.
Methods: Colonic manometry studies performed between May 2015 and May 2022 were reviewed.
In vivo evaluation of complex polyps with endoscopic optical coherence tomography and deep learning during routine colonoscopy: a feasibility study.

Standard-of-care (SoC) imaging for assessing colorectal polyps during colonoscopy, based on white-light colonoscopy (WLC) and narrow-band imaging (NBI), does not have sufficient accuracy to assess the invasion depth of complex polyps non-invasively during colonoscopy. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a custom endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) probe for assessing colorectal polyps during routine colonoscopy. Patients referred for endoscopic treatment of large colorectal polyps were enrolled in this pilot clinical study, which used a side-viewing OCT catheter developed for use with an adult colonoscope.

J Ultrason
November 2024
Department of Anatomy, Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland.
Article Synopsis
- The ileocecal valve is crucial for separating different parts of the intestine, and issues with it can lead to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth syndrome.
- This study aims to enhance understanding of the ileocecal valve through transabdominal ultrasound, comparing it with colonoscopy and CT colonography findings.
- Key findings show variations in the valve's morphology, with lipomatosis presenting a unique ultrasound image, emphasizing the importance of proper preparation and lymph node assessment in exams.
Fatal outcome of postpolypectomy syndrome: A case report.
Radiol Case Rep
December 2024
Department of Radiology, Shin-Kuki General Hospital, 418-1 Kamihayami, Kuki City, Saitama Prefecture 346-8530, Japan.
Postpolypectomy syndrome (PPS), also known as postpolypectomy coagulation syndrome or transmural burn syndrome, is a rare complication following colonic polypectomy characterized by abdominal pain, fever, and leukocytosis. Herein, we present a case of a patient in his 70s who developed abdominal pain and fever after a polypectomy. He was diagnosed with PPS, which rapidly progressed to septic shock necessitating left hemicolectomy.

Int J Surg
September 2024
Department of Diagnostic Radiology, National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing China.
Objectives: To compare the value of tumor stroma ratio (TSR) and radiomic signature from baseline MRI for stratifying the risk of distant metastases (DM) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).
Materials And Methods: Data from 302 patients with LARC who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and total mesorectal excision in our hospital between 2015 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed, and the patients were randomly allocated into the training and validation cohorts in a ratio of 7:3. Patients were followed-up for more than 3 years postoperatively with metachronous DM as the endpoint.
