Computed tomography colonography (CTC) has the potential to become a major component of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs and to have a significant effect on CRC prevention. This article describes the potential role of CTC within the framework of colorectal cancer screening. Current screening recommendations and traditional screening tests are reviewed, followed by a summary of recent study results on the use of CTC as a screening tool. Several factors that are affecting the acceptance and adoption of CTC are outlined. Although CTC is valuable and holds considerable promise as a way to increase the use of CRC screening, these issues need to be addressed before CTC becomes more widely disseminated as a screening modality.
