Colorectal cancer is one major cause of death in the western world [6,7,13]. This disease is less risky if the polyps that cause it are detected in early stages [3,5,7,12,13,18,20,28]
Colorectal cancer is one major cause of death in the western world [6,7,13]. This disease is less risky if the polyps that cause it are detected in early stages [3,5,7,12,13,18,20,28].
Virtual Colonoscopy (VC), a digital method for polyp detection, is widely accepted because it is less invasive than optical colonoscopy[21].
VC procedure consists on the acquisition of an air-contrasted Computer Tomography (CT) 3D image. This image is then analyzed by an expert radiologist who determines the presence of polyps in colon lumen.
