Abstract:
Standardized recommended techniques for performing and reporting CT colonography (CTC) examinations were developed by a consensus of experts. Published reporting guidelines, known as the CT colonography reporting and data system supplemented by recently updated comprehensive recommendations were incorporated into the American College of Radiology (ACR) practice guidelines. The application of continuous quality improvement to the practice of CT was aided by the development of an ACR national data registry (NRDR) for CTC that addressed both process and outcome quality measures. These measures can be used to benchmark an institution's CTC practice as compared to all participants. This article will discuss the best practices for reporting CTC and describe the use of NRDR to foster quality CTC performance.
