Finding polyps at colonoscopy previously noted on CT colonography
Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am.

Abstract
Colon screening examinations have been shown to discover neoplastic lesions at an early stage. Even the most careful studies by colonoscopy and by computed tomographic colonography (CTC) can overlook tumors with a diameter greater than 5 mm. Advances in technology have continually improved the ability to find polyps, which will lead to a real decrease in colorectal cancer incidence.
