Abstract
BACKGROUND. Prior cost-effectiveness models analyzing computed tomography colonography (CTC) screening have assumed that patients with diminutive lesions (� 5 mm) will be referred to optical colonoscopy (OC) for polypectomy. However, consensus guidelines for CTC recommend reporting only polyps measuring � 6 mm. The purpose of the current study was to assess the potential harms, benefits, and cost-effectiveness of CTC screening without the...
