CT Colonography (CTC) is a non-invasive option for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. The accuracy of CTC as a screening tool among asymptomatic adults has not been well defined. The National CT Colonography Trial recruited 2600 asymptomatic participants, age ≥ 50 years, at 15 study centers. CTC images were acquired using standard bowel preparation, stool/fluid tagging, mechanical insufflation, ≥16 row CT scanners. Trained CTC radiologists reported all lesions ≥ 5 mm in diameter. Colonoscopy was performed according to established clinical protocols at each center and served as the reference standard. Detection by CTC of patients with large (≥10 mm), histologically-confirmed adenomas and adenocarcinomas which were detected by colonoscopy was the primary endpoint; detection of smaller (6–9 mm) colorectal lesions was also evaluated. Complete data were available for 2531 (97%) participants. For large adenomas and cancers the per patient estimates for sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were 0.90 ±0.03, 0.86 ± 0.02, 0.23 ± 0.02, 0.99 ±<0.01 and 0.89 ± 0.02, respectively. The sensitivity of 90% indicates that CTC failed to detect a lesion ≥10mm in 10% of patients. Per-polyp sensitivity for large adenomas or cancers was 0.84 ± 0.04. Per-patient sensitivity estimates in detecting patients with adenomas ≥ 6 mm, was 0.78. In this study of asymptomatic adults, CTC screening identified 90% of patients with adenomas and cancers ≥ 10 mm in diameter. These findings augment published data regarding the role of CTC in average-risk CRC screening.
