    ..Differences in sensitivity and specificity in the detection of polyps between the sets were not significant. CONCLUSION: Volume and average CT attenuation thresholds can help differentiate most ICVs from true polyps...

    ..7% (61/72), respectively (not significant, P > or = .15). CONCLUSIONS: CDD was common in this asymptomatic screening population, but its presence did not degrade the diagnostic performance of primary 3D CTC for polyp detection...
  62. ncbi Polyp volume versus linear size measurements at CT colonography: implications for noninvasive surveillance of unresected colorectal lesions

    AJR Am J Roentgenol 186:1605-10. 2006
    ..CONCLUSION: Because changes in polyp volume are amplified compared with linear dimension, volume measurement rather than diameter measurement will better allow detection of small incremental changes in polyp size using CTC...
