Core Tip	Laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) are a major target for colon screening. Nevertheless, it is still unknown what percentage of LSTs can be identified with computed tomography (CT) colonography (CTC). It has been reported that CTC may miss flat neoplastic lesions regardless of their size. It is a fascinating clinical question whether non-granular type LSTs, which have a very flat appearance on optical colonoscopy, can be identified with CTC. This study demonstrated that the detection rate of LSTs by CTC, particularly the non-granular type was not acceptable. Practitioners should be aware of the relatively low detection rate when using CTC.
