Abstract

A review of the current status of virtual colonoscopy is germane and topical. Clinicians need to be knowledgeable about this rapidly evolving and clinically relevant technology to understand the test benefits and limitations and to refer patients for this test appropriately. A critical review of the exponentially expanding literature on this subject is important. This article describes the imaging methods adjunctive techniques, and radiologic interpretation of CT colonography, and comprehensively and critically reviews the clinical data to help the clinician evaluate the current and potential applications of this technology.
