Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of window settings on measurement of colon polyps with CT virtual colonoscopy with experiment. Twenty-four artificial polyps' diameter were measured and scanned 10 times with identical scan parameters using a 64-multidetector computed tomographic scanner. The diameter of each polyp was measured using lung window and abdominal soft tissue window settings and compared with the actual diameter. The lung window setting offers accurate measurement of colon polyps.
