Abstract
While significant progress is being made with clinical evaluation of computed tomography (CT) colonography (CTC), the issues of cost, time for interpretation, diagnostic performance, and perceptual error have yet to be addressed. A number of researchers around the world have embarked on a project to develop computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) of colonic polyps to address these potential obstacles to further use of CTC. In this chapter, we briefly review the progress to date and speculate on developments likely to occur during the next few years.
