About this software
The CT colonoscopy is used to create a virtual endoscopic and panoramic image of the colon region from abdominal CT images.
Colon cancer checkup
The WHO statistics database indicates that the male lung cancer and female breast cancer are followed by the colon cancer that makes up also a large share in the mortality. In the recent colon cancer checkup, a method has been developed to display virtual endoscopic images of the colon from images acquired with the CT system attracting attention as an examination with fewer burdens on the patient.
Usefulness of CT Colonoscopy
Traditional examination
(Endoscopy / contrast barium enema)
- Some patients are physically intolerant of a long examination
- Difficult to observe stenosis and regions deeper than the stenosis
CT Colonoscopy
- Allows a shorter exam time and observation of the large intestine as a whole from different angles
- Low invasive examination without inserting any equipment and barium into tha colon.
Extraction of the colon area, calculation of the route, and displaying of analysis images can be achieved with 2 clicks. A virtual endoscopic image/3D-MPR image/Panoramic image can be displayed to easily obtain images that serve the purpose.
Shape Analysis Filter is a function to display projections other than folds on the panoramic image in color. This supports an efficient screening checkup by using it together with the panoramic image that allows you to observe the whole wall of the colon.
The bookmark function allows registering any concerning areas during observation and records the coordinates of the position, results of distance measurement and so on, which can be recalled later. In addition, the examination report making function allows you to select bookmarked images and make a report easily. Images can be stored in the color DICOM format and BMP format as well.
