BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In a landmark trial published on October 4, 2007 in the highly respected New England Journal of Medicine, it was found that “primary computerized tomographic colonography (virtual colonoscopy) and optical colonoscopy (conventional colonoscopy) screening strategies resulted in similar detection rates for advanced neoplasia, although the numbers of polypectomies and complications were considerably smaller in the CTC group. These findings support the use of computerized tomographic colonography as a primary screening test before therapeutic optical colonoscopy.”
