Abstract:

For today it is possible to allocate two basic strategies of images primary analysis during virtual colonoscopy (VC): it means interpretation on the basis of 2D and 3D reconstruction data

Purpose. Was to compare 2D and 3D analysis programs during VC: they were compared on interpretation time,on sensitivity of polyp's detection

Materials and methods. The research consisted of 80 patients. All detected new growth during VC were put into protocols of interpretation, with instructions of quantity, form and size

All the patients were underwent VC, including biopsy and further histological research Also, time spent for analysis of each research was fixed

Conclusions. Sensitivity of 3D virtual dissection during primary imaging analysis in almost the same in comparison with 2D, but interpretation time is higher in 2D.
