Magnetic resonance colonography for colorectal cancer screening.
Seminars in Ultrasound, CT, and MR 2001 October
Colorectal cancer screening has vast potential. Beyond considerations of cost and diagnostic accuracy, the effectiveness of any colorectal screening strategy will be dependent on the degree of patient acceptance. Magnetic resonance (MR) colonography has been shown to be accurate regarding the detection of clinically relevant colonic polyps exceeding 10 mm in size, with reported sensitivity and specificity values exceeding 95%. To further enhance patient acceptance, strategies for fecal tagging have recently been developed. By modulating the signal of fecal material to be identical to the signal characteristics of the enema applied to distend the colon, fecal tagging in conjunction with MR colonography obviates the need for bowel cleansing. This article will describe the techniques underlying MR colonography and early clinical experience with fecal tagging techniques.
