| Core Tip |
We present our initial experience regarding the feasibility of ultrasound virtual endoscopy (USVE) and its measurement reliability for polyp detection in an in vitro study using pig intestine specimens. USVE is a new technique that simulates views of computed tomography colonography (CTC). We found that USVE is an accurate screening method for simulated polyp detection and compares favorably to CTC and optical colonoscopy. As a dynamic, non-invasive, radiation-free, cost-effective method, USVE shows great promise for the screening and surveillance of colorectal cancers.
