Abstract

- In contrast to optical colonoscopy, computed tomography colonography (CTC) has the ability to reveal pathology outside of the colon. While identification of colorectal lesions at CTC requires only limited radiation dose, the detection of abnormalities in extracolonic soft tissue requires more radiation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of ultra-low-dose (ULD) CTC on the detection and characterisation of extracolonic findings. In a prospective study 49 patients with colorectal symptoms were examined with CTC adding a ULD series (mean effective dose 0.9±0.4mSv) to the normal unenhanced standard dose (SD) series (mean effective dose 3.6±1.2mSv). Five radiologists individually and blindly evaluated the ULD, followed by evaluation of the SD after ≥9weeks (median 35weeks). A ViewDEX-based examination protocol was used, including a confidence scale and a graded assessment of need for follow-up according to the CTC Reporting and Data System (C-RADS E0-E4). The reference findings comprised the combined information from CTC (ULD, SD and contrast-enhanced CTC series) and a 4-year radiological and clinical follow-up. For the overall detection of reference findings (E2-E4) we found a statistically significant difference in favour of SD. This, however, was not the case when looking at classification of possibly important/important reference findings (E3-E4). Our results suggest that CTC with ULD (0.9mSv) is comparable to SD (3.6mSv) for identification of clinically relevant extracolonic pathology, but there is a large inter-observer variability.
