Authors' objectives:
Computed tomography colonography (CTC), commonly referred to as virtual colonoscopy, is a minimally invasive imaging technique that simulates the endoluminal view seen during colonoscopy. The goal of CTC is to detect precancerous and cancerous lesions so that they can be removed at an early stage (by conventional colonoscopy) when treatment is likely to be most effective.
