[Errors when performing computed tomographic colonography (virtual colonoscopy) and assessing its results]
Abstract:
Computed tomographic colonography (CTC) is a noninvasive diagnostic method for significantly identifying clinically relevant colonic and rectal tumors. Good colonic preparation that includes laxatives or residue-free diet, as well as labelling the intestinal contents is needed to adequately interpret CTC data. However, errors in interpreting the results of CTC can be associated with not only the imperfections of large bowel preparation for examination, but also due to those of the latter and because of the anatomic features of the colon. The paper describes difficulties and the most common errors in CTC, including own experience.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
