"Our study shows that the CAD-related increase in sensitivity for lesions 6 mm or larger renders CT colonography screening both clinically effective and cost effective for inexperienced and experienced readers, substantially raising the CRC prevention rate with only a modest increase in program costs."

"The addition of CAD to CT colonography screening imroves the CRC prevention rate, resulting in advantageous cost-effectivemess for screening."

"In discriminating between T3 and T4 tumors, even if the fat plane intervening between the primary tumor and adjacent organ is effaced, invasion is not likely to be present if a distinct and smooth interface is maintained between them, whereas an indistinct or irregular interface probably suggests invasion."

"A combination of transverse CT and multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) is more accurate than transverse CT images alone in aiding prediction of tumor invasion of adjacent organs, particularly the transverse colon or mesocolon and pancreas, and , therefore in helping to identify patients with T4 gastric cancer."

"CTC showed a high sensitivity for nonpolypoid stage Tis and T1 adenocarcinomas 10 mm or greater in width despite the limited sensitivity for nonpolypoid adenomatous lesions, when performed using cathartic preparation and fecal tagging."
