Caption

A, Optical colonoscopy and, B-D, CT colonography of a 9-mm polyp (arrow) in the descending colon of a 78-year-old woman. B, Virtual fly-through three-dimensional reconstructions were used for exact polyp localization. C, Manual polyp segmentation was performed in multiplanar two-dimensional CT colonography images. D, CT colonography images were preprocessed for image feature extraction by application of a dedicated filter.
