Colonoscopy is a new developing technique providing an alternative method
of screening for colorectal cancer and precursor lesions (polyps). Since this
is a new technology, few radiologists, technologists or gastroenterologists have
experience in understanding, performance, or interpretation of these studies.
This two-day minicourse is intended to provide a means to educate radiologists,
gastroenterologists, and technologists in the current state of the art in virtual
colonoscopy (CT colonography). This two-day structured minicourse includes:
- Didactic lecture
- Demonstrations and tutorials on state-of-the-art
workstations
- Review of cases from our pathology-proven database
|
|
| At the conclusion of this fellowship, participants will
be able to: - Describe the current state of the art of virtual colonoscopy
- Discuss
the issues related to colorectal cancer screening and the impact of this new modality
- Acquire
skills necessary to perform and interpret virtual colonoscopy
- Identify
the advantages and disadvantages of the current available workstations, virtual
colonoscopy software and preparation kits
