- Abstract
- This volume provides a comprehensive overview of quality metrics and methods used to improve quality for all major modalities of CRC screening. It introduces the readers to the evidence of effectiveness behind various CRC screening modalities: stool-based tests (Fecal Occult Blood, Fecal Immunochemical and Fecal DNA tests), flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy and CT colonography. In-depth chapters review the latest guidelines for CRC screening, compare differences among the five major national guidelines, and highlight the need for valid quality and cost indicators. While the main focus of this volume is on colonoscopy, since most quality indicators and analyses have focused on this modality of screening and surveillance, one chapter is devoted to quality indicators of other screening modalities. Differences between process and outcome measures are also highlighted and a small but valid set of recommended national measures are listed. Written by experts in the field, Colorectal Cancer Screening: Quality and Benchmarks is an important and useful resource written for gastroenterologists, primary care physicians, general and colorectal surgeons, family physicians, and investigators with research focus in screening and quality metrics.
- Contents
- History and Overview of the National Quality Strategy -- Current Screening and Surveillance Guidelines -- Comparative and Cost Effectiveness of Current CRC Screening Modalities -- Quality Indicators and Benchmarks For Guideline Recommended Fecal Occult Blood Tests (FOBT) -- Quality Indicators for CT Colonography (CTC) -- Stool DNA for Colorectal Cancer Screening: From Concepts to Quality Care -- Quality Indicators for Colonoscopy -- Toward a Learning Healthcare System: Use of Colorectal Cancer Quality Measures for Physician Evaluation -- Sedation Issues in Colonoscopy: Quality and Economic Considerations -- Role of Pathology in Quality of Colonoscopy -- Managing Quality in Ancillary Services -- Medical Legal Aspects of Quality Improvement -- Areas for Future Research.

- Abstract
- This easy-to-use atlas comprises a collection of representative common and unusual virtual colonoscopy (CT colonography, CTC) cases that physicians and radiologists may expect to encounter during their clinical practice. The atlas reflects the important recent advances in image acquisition, patient preparation, and image processing and is thus completely up-to-date. Each case is presented with the native CT images, integrated images obtained by 3D image processing, and colonoscopic correlation. Topics covered include normal appearances, anatomical variants, pitfalls, diverticula, lipomas, inflammatory bowel disease, polyps, flat lesions, cancers, and the postsurgical colon. By presenting the main features of anatomy and pathology, this atlas will serve as an invaluable tool both for radiologists performing CTC and for clinicians who need to review the CTC examinations of their patients.

- Normal Colon -- Anatomical Variants: Positional Anomalies of Colon -- Pitfalls in Imaging -- Diverticular Disease -- Lipomatous Lesions of the Colon -- Inflammatory Bowel Diseases -- Polyps: Pedunculated -- Sessile Polyps -- Flat Lesions -- Colon Cancer -- Rectal Cancer -- The Ileocecal Valve -- Operated large Bowel.

- Abstract
- This book explains every aspect of the role of radiographers in performing CT colonography (CTC) and interpreting CTC images with the aim of enabling radiographers to extend the scope of their practice. It provides all the information required with respect to procurement of informed consent, principles of CT and radiation dose, patient preparation and positioning, the use of contrast media, the performance of diagnostic and screening CTC studies, and the interpretation and reporting of images. A wide range of CTC findings are described and depicted, covering normal anatomy, artifacts, hemorrhoids, polyps, colon cancer, diverticular disease, lipomas, and extracolonic structures. In addition, a chapter focusing on self-assessment of image interpretation will aid learning. The rising number of CTC studies for colon disorders is adding to an already burdened radiology workload. To reduce this workload, radiographers will increasingly be given responsibility to carry out CTC examinations and this book will provide the support that they need in order to perform CTC studies to the standard required.
