Colonoscopic Tattooing of Colonic Lesions

Role of CT Colonography in Colonic Lesions and Its Correlation with Conventional Colonoscopic Findings.

BACKGROUND Preoperative evaluation in patients with colorectal carcinoma is essential for a correct therapeutic plan. Conventional colonoscopy has certain limitations including its inability to detect synchronous lesions in case of distal obstructive mass and inaccurate tumour localization. CT colonography combines cross sectional imaging with virtual colonoscopic images and offers a comprehens...

Colonic stricture following conservative treatment of a colonoscopic perforation.

Colonoscopic study of 50 patients with colonic tuberculosis.

Fifty patients with colonic tuberculosis are reported in whom a colonoscopic diagnosis confirmed by histological examination was possible in 40. Bacteriological studies did not increase the diagnostic yield. Abdominal pain was the most common symptom (90%) and an abdominal mass the most common abnormal physical finding (58%). A nodular mucosa with areas of ulceration was the usual colonoscopic ...

Detection of Lesions in Colonoscopic Images: A Review

Colonoscopy is one of the best methods for screening colon cancer and still is the “gold standard” despite advancements in the field of virtual endoscopy based on computer-tomographic imaging. As the automatic detection of polyps in endoscopic images is a challenging task for image processing, a variety of research groups have proposed methods that try to fulfill this task to develop a system w...

Colonoscopic lesions in veterans with spinal cord injury.

The overall goal of this observational study was to determine the type and prevalence of colonoscopic lesions encountered in veterans with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) and to examine their relationship to lesion level, completeness, and duration postinjury. We retrospectively reviewed the electronic charts of veterans with SCI who are regularly followed in our SCI clinic. Colonoscopy in v...
