Zusammenfassung

Die CT-Kolonographie (CTK), auch als virtuelle Koloskopie bezeichnet, wird zunehmend in der radiologischen Praxis eingesetzt. Während für die reine Vorsorgeuntersuchung z. Z. noch keine rechtfertigende Indikation besteht, können symptomatische Patienten nach fehlgeschlagener Koloskopie oder zur Beurteilung des Darms proximal einer Stenose mittels CTK untersucht werden. Ergebnisse wichtiger Studien, die die CT-Kolonographie mit der herkömmlichen Koloskopie vergleichen, beeinflussen die zukünftige Position der Untersuchungsmethode beim Darmkrebsscreening. Vergleichsstudien mit der Koloskopie zeigen das große Potenzial der CT-gestützten Darmuntersuchung.

Abstract

CT colonography (CTC) is also referred to as virtual colonoscopy and is being used with increasing frequency in radiological practice. While there are still no generally accepted, clear-cut indications for its use in mass colorectal cancer screening, there is evidence that this investigation is useful in patients in whom colonoscopy has not been successful or who have known stenotic lesions in the colon. Recent results of significant comparative studies of CTC and conventional colonoscopy will have some influence on the future place of CTC in screening for cancer of the bowel; they show the great potential of CT-aided bowel examination.
