Abstract

More than 80% of nonadenomatous polyps were diminutive, but they accounted for nearly 40% of polyps that were 6 mm or larger. Fortunately, CT colonography is significantly (P <.01) less sensitive in the detection of lesions that have no malignant potential when compared with similar-sized adenomas that have malignant potential.
