Abstract
Preoperative DECTC can be used as an accurate and dose-efficient primary-staging examination. Especially after incomplete optical colonoscopy, virtual colonoscopy enables full preoperative colonic assessment on the same day. Dual-energy CT enables distinction between neoplasia and non-neoplastic findings within and outside the colon. Therefore, DECTC can be regarded as a promising “one-stop” staging examination in patients with clinically suspected CRC.
