Cancer of various solid organs can be diagnosed not only by the high resolution CT scan but also by the CTA showing the abnormal blood supply that characterizes cancers. In addition, cancers can be detected with Breakthrough in Cancer imaging technologies * including:
|
 |
Computer Aided Diagnosis of Lung nodules
|
|
Virtual colonoscopy for detection of large intestine tumours in seconds
|
|
CT angiography for detection of solid organ cancers such as liver cancer
|

Virtual Colonoscopy provides a fast, non-invasive and painless examination
of the colon in seconds without the need to insert a colonoscope
and with no risk of perforation from a colonoscopes

CT colonoscopy is a non-invasive alternative to conventional colonoscopy, whereby the colon can be examined by computer generated graphics that will accurately show significant polyps and tumours. Then only if an abnormality is discovered will a patient need to undergo conventional colonoscopy for biopsy or removal of the lesion. This technology will reduce the need for traditional colonoscopy in the initial screening of the colon.
