TL;DR: Colonoscopy was more sensitive than other tests, as currently undertaken, for detection of colonic polyps and cancers, and have important implications for diagnostic use of colon imaging tests.

TL;DR: Colonic distention and preparation at CT colonography were significantly improved by using supine and prone scanning in combination, and results correlated directly with improved sensitivity of polyp detection.
Journal ArticleDOI
The usefulness of glucagon hydrochloride for colonic distention in CT colonography.
TL;DR: Glucagon administration before CT colonography does not improve colonic distention and there is no statistically significant difference in overall colonicDistention between the glucagon group and the nonglucagon group for the supine, prone, or combined positions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patient experience and preferences toward colon cancer screening: a comparison of virtual colonoscopy and conventional colonoscopy.
TL;DR: Patients tolerate both virtual Colonoscopy and conventional colonoscopy, although they report more pain, discomfort, and less respect undergoing virtual colonoscope.
