CT colonography polyp size is not significantly different from colonoscopy polyp size, according to research findings published in the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
For their study, researchers studied 56 polyps. They found there were no significant differences between CTC polyp size, real-time colonoscopy size estimation or probe measurement. They also concluded any differences in size of polyps, as measured by CTC and endoscopy, will only affect management in 10 percent of cases.
