Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe our experience with cases of false negative findings at conventional colonoscopy (CC) that were identified by CT colonography (CTC). Conventional colonoscopy (CC) is the universally accepted gold-standard technique for the diagnosis of colonic polyps and cancers, however occasionally this method can generate false negative findings. We present examples of false negatives at CC, correctly identified by CT colonography (CTC), and later confirmed at a second endoscopy, describing the reasons of false negative, when possible.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
