ABSTRACT
We introduce a method of navigation to perform virtual colonoscopy guided by a 2D mathematically opened colon. The main goals of this approach are to reduce the attention load of visual polyp search from 3D to 2D; to avoid missing areas due to occlusion; and to reduce the time needed for a complete examination.

Improved Colon Navigation for Efficient Polyp Detection in Virtual Colonoscopy
Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Abdominal Imaging. Computation and Clinical Applications - Volume 8198Colon cancer is a leading cause of death in the world and its early diagnosis highly increases the chances of survival. Virtual colonoscopy is a widely spreading technology that is used for polyp detection, the primary cause of colon cancer. This paper ...
An Automatic Colon Cleansing Method for Virtual Colonoscopy
ICISE '09: Proceedings of the 2009 First IEEE International Conference on Information Science and EngineeringReliable segmentation of the colon is essential for automatic detection of polyps on virtual colonoscopy (VC). Large clinical trial suggests that providing patients with oral contrast agents may reduce the false positive rate of polyp detection even ...
