Low radiation dose technique should be employed rout...

متن کاملComputed tomography colonography for colorectal cancer screening.
Colorectal cancer screening has been shown to help prevent cancer-related death. Concerns about suboptimal adherence to conventional colonoscopy has led to the search for alternative screening modalities. Computed tomography colono-graphy (CTC) is a highly sensitive and minimally invasive alternative modality. The American College of Radiology has established a standardized reporting system for...
متن کاملCost-Effectiveness Analysis of CT Colonography for Colorectal Cancer Screening Program to Working Age in Japan
Objectives: To assess the cost-effectiveness of computed tomography colonography (CTC) for a colorectal cancer screening program in a working population (aged 40–60 years) from a health care payer’s perspective in Japan. Methods: A Markov model for colorectal cancer was constructed to estimate the long-term (10-year, 20-year, and 30year) effect of introducing CTC for three different strategies ...
