It provides a wealth of information for everyday practice, including topics that range from examination methods and image interpretation, to screening and reporting issues, to common mistakes and pitfalls to avoid. This compact book is all-inclusive and ideal for both beginners and more experienced examiners who want to deepen their knowledge of this powerful technique.

“Very importantly, this book provides explicit advice for producing a clinically useful report (C-rads), handling extra-colonic findings, and reducing radiation dose, and clearly describes the role of computer-assisted detection of polyps and intravenous contrast material in this examination … Drs. Mang and Schima deserve congratulations for producing an invaluable resource that is comprehensive and, at the same time, user friendly and practical.” – From the Foreword by Richard M. Gore, MD, FACR, FACG

Containing all methods and techniques that follow current international guidelines and consensus statements, this book offers easy-to-implement, standardized clinical protocols that can be applied in both clinic and private practice settings. It is essential for all radiologists and gastroenterologists who perform, interpret and report CTC findings, as well as for physicians who need a reliable overview of this robust and useful detection and screening tool.
