Abstract

Extracolonic findings in CT colonography: Our experience in 227 casesObjective: The aim of our study is to evaluate the frequency and the types of extracolonic findings (ECF) in Computed Tomography Colonography (CTC) performed for screening purposes in an asymptomatic population.Methods: CTC examinations performed for Colo-Rectal Carcinoma (CRC) screening between April 2013 and April 2014 were included in the study. We classified ECF according to CTC reporting and data system (C-RADS). Two radiologists examined images. Patients' demographic data were documented. The presence and the types of ECF were determined in consensus.Results: We evaluated 227 CTC retrospectively. There were 121 women (mean age 58.9±7.1) and 106 men (mean age 60.7±7.7). In 145 patients, ECF were detected and in 82 patients no ECF were found. The mean age was significantly higher in patients with ECF (p<0.01). The mean ages for clinically significant and insignificant groups were 61.7±8.7 and 57.5±6.8 years, respectively. This difference was statistically significant (p=0.003). There were no statistically significant difference between men and women in terms of ECF (p=0.397).Conclusion: Although ECF are encountered frequently and even more often with increasing age, only limited fraction of them have clinically significant outcomes.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı asemptomatik hastalarda tarama amaçlı çekilen bilgisayarlı tomografik kolonografi (BTK) tetkiklerinde karşılaşılan ekstrakolonik bulguların (EKB) sıklığını ve tiplerini değerlendirmektir.Yöntemler: Çalımamıza Nisan 2013-Nisan 2014 tarihleri arasında kolorektal kanser taraması amacıyla çekilen BTK tetkikleri dahil edildi. EKB C-RADS (CTC reporting and data system) yöntemi kullanılarak sınıflandırıldı. İki radyoloji uzmanı görüntüleri değerlendirdi.Hastaların demografik bilgileri kaydedildi. EKB varlığı ve çeşidi ortak karar yoluyla tesbit edilip not edildi. Bulgular: Retrospektif olarak 227 vaka değerlendirdik. Çalışmamızda 121 kadın (ortalama yaş 58.9±7.1) ve 106 erkek (ortalama yaş 60.7±7.7) hasta vardı. 145 hastada EKB lar saptanırken 82 hastada EKB' ya rastlanmadı. EKB gözlenen hasta grubunda ortalama yaş anlamlı olarak fazlaydı (p<0.01). Klinik olarak önemli bulgular rastlanan grubun yaş ortalaması 61.7±8.7 iken klinik olarak az önemli bulgular gözlenen grubun yaş ortalaması 57.5±6.8'dir. Bu fark istatiksel olarak anlamlı olarak hesaplandı (p=0.003). EKB rastlanması açısından kadın ve erkek hasta grubları arasında istatiksel anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı (p=0.397).Sonuç: BTK tetkiklerinde EKB'lara sık karşılaşılır ve artan yaşla bu sıklık daha da artar ancak bunların az bir kısmı klinik olarak önemli bulgulardır.
