Reviews for Colorectal Cancer Screening and Computerized Tomographic Colonography: A Comprehensive Overview

From the reviews: This multi-author work charts the development of computerised tomographic colonography (CTC), more commonly referred to as virtual colonoscopy, from the landmark presentation by Vining et al to the Society of Gastrointestinal Radiologists in 2004 to the present day. ... The book is beautifully illustrated and extensively referenced ... . It will be of interest principally to radiologists and those responsible for planning screening programmes, but is also recommended to anyone with a primary interest in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer. (Richard Novell, Oncology News, Vol. 8 (4), September-October, 2013)
