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: Preliminary data suggest that CLE can be reliably identified and quantified with current CT scanners and suggest that lung destruction was correctly identified in 13 of 15 cases.

TL;DR: It was concluded that CT should not be used routinely to preoperatively stage patients with rectosigmoid carcinoma, however, all patients who have undergone resection for rectal or sigmoids carcinoma should have aggressive CT evaluation including a baseline study at 2-4 months and then follow-up studies at every 6 months for at least 2 years.

TL;DR: CT is a sensitive test for detecting hepatic abscess but is often nonspecific, and the CT appearance of the lesions varied from well defined, rounded cavities with contents near water density, resembling poorly defined hepatic cysts, to higher-density foci indistinguishable from hepatic neoplasms.

TL;DR: A reevaluation of computed tomography (CT) for staging carcinoma of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction was performed in 76 patients as discussed by the authors, and the radiologists correctly identified all 26 normal patients.
