A substantial number of both average- and high-risk patients undergoing CT colonography will be found to have clinically important extracolonic findings. There was no increased morbidity or mortality associated with the additional evaluation of extracolonic findings. The cost of evaluating these lesions is low, given the potential for positive effects on patient care.

Colonic distention and preparation at CT colonography were significantly improved by using supine and prone scanning in combination, and results correlated directly with improved sensitivity of polyp detection.
