Location of Adenomas Missed by Optical Colonoscopy

Figure 3. Three-dimensional endoluminal view from virtual colonoscopy shows a sessile polyp situated between folds. The centerline path for automated navigation is shown ( ). Colon map generated from the supine computed tomography data set that shows the vantage point ( ) for the image on the right. The polyp location ( ) is situated at the inner turn of the flexure.
