متن کاملCT Colonography (“Virtual Colonoscopy”) for Colon Cancer Screening
Background: Computed tomographic (CT) colonography, also known as "virtual colonoscopy," is an imaging technique of the colon involving helical computed tomography and computer software to generate high-resolution 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional images of the inner surface of the colon. These images are then interpreted by a radiologist to determine the presence of several types of abnormalitie...
متن کاملGuidelines for colorectal cancer screening--a puzzle of tests and strategies.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer death around the World. An effective way to reduce colorectal cancer mortality is to screen for it and its precursor, the adenoma. In industrialized countries the mortality related to CRC is decreasing probably due to better screening programmes in average-risk individuals as well as changes in risk factors. Screening procedures are various i...
متن کاملX-ray Imaging in Preclinical Studies of Bone, Pulmonary and Soft Tissues
Discovered by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895, X-ray technology is the oldest and most commonly used form of medical imaging and remains an important tool for the diagnosis of many disorders. X-rays are generated when a beam of electrons is accelerated by high voltage and hits a metal probe. The kinetic energy released is transformed into quanta of emitted X-ray radiation. X-rays are absorbed by the m...
