Abstract

This article outlines how to achieve maximum accuracy in interpreting CT colonography (CTC) regarding colonic findings. Interpreting extracolonic findings seen on CTC is a separate diagnostic task and will not be addressed in this article. While many interpretive pitfalls are in fact related to CTC techniques, this article focuses on issues that are related to interpretive knowledge and skills, avoiding in-depth discussions on CTC techniques. Principal methods and further tips for detecting possible polyp candidates and for confirming true soft-tissue polyps will be discussed. Specific points about optimizing interpretation strategies for difficult flat polyps including sessile serrated polyp will be raised. There are numerous interpretive pitfalls regarding the colonic interpretation of CTC. Knowledge of these pitfalls will shorten the learning curve and help achieve accurate reads.
