In CT Colonography, Perry Pickhardt and David Kim present
techniques for quicker evaluation and diagnosis of
colon cancer through the pioneering, specialty-changing imaging technique of virtual colonoscopy (VC). This combination of sophisticated X-rays and CT scans of the abdomen offers patients an
alternative to colonoscopy that is cost effective and reduces the
need for unnecessary polyp
removal. Abundantly illustrated in full color, this pioneering book describes CT colonography from
pathogenesis, staging and treatment through indications, technique, and interpretation for the most common pathologies. You’ll have the full spectrum of VC technique and be able to see procedures performed through
video clips on the included DVD (only book here
for download).
*Covers principles, techniques, and interpretations for the most common pathologies in a logical, practical organization.

*Provides over 1000 full-color, high-resolution anatomic images throughout for the clearest, most accurate picture of
colorectal cancer, its natural history, and its diagnosis by VC.
*Focuses on images, with the text serving as context for the proper
use and understanding of VC
