L'obiettivo di questo manuale è istruire il radiologo all'esecuzione della colonscopia virtuale, metodica che in pochi anni ha rivoluzionato la diagnostica per immagini del colon-retto. Oggi il test sta infatti rapidamente sostituendo il clisma opaco e in alcuni centri è utilizzato come esame di primo livello al posto della colonscopia, e non solo nei soggetti anziani e fragili. Studi clinici randomizzati ci diranno presto se la colonscopia virtuale avrà un ruolo nello screening del cancro del colon-retto. Questo innovativo percorso diagnostico richiede nuove tecnologie e maggiori conoscenze, insieme a un’interazione diversa, più impegnativa con il paziente. È dunque importante che il radiologo e il personale sanitario siano professionalmente aggiornati e preparati in questa metodica. Partendo dalle indicazioni alla colonscopia virtuale, gli autori presentano i diversi step e le apparecchiature utilizzate, descrivendo in dettaglio la preparazione del paziente, l'insufflazione, i protocolli d'esame, come organizzare un servizio di colonscopia virtuale, cosa fare in caso di complicanze, il controllo di qualità. Il formato tascabile e il taglio del manuale sono improntati al concetto di guida pratica: i numerosi schemi, tabelle, diagrammi di flusso e figure esemplificative contribuiscono a farne un utile strumento di lavoro nella pratica clinica di tutti i giorni. Springer ABC: una serie di pratici manuali dedicati alla diagnostica per immagini, per approfondire le metodiche più innovative e le tematiche di maggior interesse per la comunità radiologica.

In CT Colonography, Perry Pickhardt and David Kim present techniques for quicker evaluation and diagnosis of colon cancer through the pioneering, specialty-changing imaging technique of virtual colonoscopy (VC). This combination of sophisticated X-rays and CT scans of the abdomen offers patients an alternative to colonoscopy that is cost effective and reduces the need for unnecessary polyp removal. Abundantly illustrated in full color, this pioneering book describes CT colonography from pathogenesis, staging and treatment through indications, technique, and interpretation for the most common p

Virtual colonoscopy, or CT colonography, is a rapidly evolving technique for the detection of tumoral lesions in the colon. It is now accepted by the American Cancer Society as a valuable screening tool for both colorectal cancer and its adenomatous precursor. Virtual colonoscopy requires state-of-the-art technique with rigorous preparation, colonic distension, and optimization of scanning parameters. Dedicated reading, analysis, and reporting of the data sets are mandatory. With contributions from a number of leaders in the field, this book addresses all the important issues relating to virtual colonoscopy. There is a particular focus on practical aspects: how to start virtual colonoscopy in your department, the regular preparation, the importance of fecal tagging, how to reduce the preparation, how to obtain optimal colonic distension, and the correct scanning parameters. Imaging characteristics and pitfalls are considered in detail, with an extensive pictorial review of difficult lesions; the importance of computer-aided diagnosis is also discussed. In this second edition the text has been updated with the latest study results and developments in technology and new illustrations have been included. This book will be invaluable to every radiologist seeking information on how to perform the exciting technique of virtual colonoscopy.
