CT Virtual Colonoscopy for Primary Colorectal Screening
This study involves a primary VC screening for colorectal polyps. The research hypothesis is
that VC screening, including surveillance of sub-cm polyps, is a safe and effective
approach.
that VC screening, including surveillance of sub-cm polyps, is a safe and effective
approach.
The purpose of this study is to use virtual colonoscopy screening to learn more about what
happens to small colon polyps (less than 10 mm) over time. From this, we can find out
whether it's safer to remove all colon polyps right away or leave the small ones in place
and remove only those that grow to 10 mm or more.
