Medicsight ColonCAD™ - Allowing CTC to live up to its promise

The potential offered by CT colonography (CTC) has been met with much enthusiasm by the radiology community since it offers a safe, rapid and minimally-invasive means of imaging the entire colon. For all its promise, however, the true value of CTC is still constrained by a number of important factors.

• Manual unassisted reading of the large number of images generated is both time consuming and exhausting.
• The difficulty in visualising colonic polyps and distinguishing them from surrounding tissue means that many may go undetected.
• The differing levels of reader experience and training leads to inter and intra-reader variability.

Medicsight ColonCAD™* is an industry leading software tool that aims to release the full potential of CT colonography by improving the accuracy and productivity of detecting polyps in the colon. By using an advanced CAD algorithm to review CT scan data and automatically highlight specific regions of interest, Medicsight ColonCAD™ provides a valuable tool for reviewing clinicians to support their search for abnormalities within the colon that may be the early precursors of potential life threatening disease.

Unbelievably, some computer-aided detection (CAD) systems have only been tested against data from a small number of patients. This means you can’t really rely on them to give you the solid support you need. Medicsight ColonCAD is validated against one of the world’s largest and most population diverse verified CT Colonography scan databases.
