Date:1/22/2008

lable for colorectal cancer screening and increase utilization of Virtual Colonoscopy.

"It is clear from the low compliance levels that we need more options in colon cancer screening," said Bruce J. Hillman, M.D., F.A.C.R., ACR Image Metrix Director of Scientific Affairs. "We feel that CT Colonography has the potential to drastically improve colon cancer screening and we look forward to exploring how CAD can impact and enhance this new option for detecting polyps." Dr. Hillman was the Chair of ACRIN and played a pivotal role in advancing several national trials including the National CT Colonography Trial that recently demonstrated that CTC is highly accurate for the detection of intermediate and large polyps and that the accuracy of CTC is similar to colonoscopy.
