title: [Comparison between virtual and conventional colonoscopy in the screening of colorectal polyps].
abstract: Aim of this study was to compare virtual and conventional colonoscopy for the detection of colon-rectal polyps. The authors studied 20 patients with these two methods and it was found that virtual colonoscopy is dependent on the size of lesions regarding sensitivity and specificity, is expensive and the learning process with reading images is very long.
