C-RADS for CT Colonography
Overview
The Working Group on Virtual Colonoscopy published in 2005 a guide to the interpretation of Computed Tomography (CT) colonography results: the CT Colonography Reporting and Data System (C-RADS). It includes a Description of Terms for reporting the size, morphologic features, and location of polyps and masses, a Description of a Reporting Scheme for Colonic and Extracolonic Lesions with Management Recommendations.
