Abstract:
To explore diagnostic acuity of helical CT colonscopic examination, simulated polyps were reproduced in 10 pig colons and 6 human colons obtained from colon resection. Helical CT colonoscopic scanning with different parameters was performed. The images were evaluated with Nav, Axial+MPR, SSD+Raysum. The diagnostic sensitivity of each method for the detection of simulated colonic polyps were assessed. The results indicated that the image quality of CT colonoscopy was improved with the decrease in collimation and pitch. The optimal angle of the colon lumen to the gantry was 90?. CT colonoscopy was superior to other imaging methods. Therefore, the performance of CTVC has a close relationship with the scanning parameters. The optimal scanning parameters were 5mm collimation, 1 5 pitch, and filling the colon with air. The combination of CTVC with other imaging methods would contribute to improving the diagnostic accuracy for the detection of colonic polyps.
