Summary

Detecting colorectal polyps using computed tomographic (CT) colography showed no significant differences between 2D, 3D, or combined 2D and 3D imaging. However, combined 2D and 3D CT colography may offer the highest detection rates.

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Colorectal cancer screening is crucial for early detection.
  • Computed tomographic (CT) colography is an alternative to colonoscopy for polyp detection.
  • Evaluating different display methods of CT colography is important for optimizing detection rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the detection of colorectal polyps using two-dimensional (2D) CT colography only, three-dimensional (3D) CT colography only, and a combination of 2D and 3D CT colography.

Main Methods:

  • Computer-simulated polyps (1-10 mm) were inserted into five CT datasets of a polyp-free colon.
  • Fifteen CT colography datasets were created: five with 2D images, five with 3D images, and five with combined 2D and 3D images.
  • Two radiologists independently evaluated all datasets for polyp detection.

Main Results:

  • No polyps 2 mm or smaller were detected.
  • No statistically significant differences in polyp detection rates were found between 2D, 3D, or combined 2D and 3D CT colography.
  • Combined 2D and 3D CT colography showed detection rates greater than or equal to 2D or 3D alone.
  • Flat polyps were harder to detect than sessile polyps.
  • Five false-positive findings occurred with 2D CT colography.

Conclusions:

  • A combined display of 2D and 3D CT images is likely to provide the highest rate of colorectal polyp detection.
  • Further research may be needed to confirm the superiority of combined 2D and 3D CT colography.
