Colon Polyp Detection Benefits include: • Detects all types of potential colonic polyps (pedunculated, sessile, flat, fluid submerged) • Identifies colon polyps to aid in the reading process • Integrates with specialized CTC reading environments • Improves accuracy, productivity and workflow • Streamlines the reading process and improves consistency • Positive effect on readers sensitivity Challenge As the volume of CT Colonography (also known as Virtual Colonoscopy) exams increase reader fatigue can occur after interpreting multiple exams and computer-aided detection (CAD) becomes invaluable in assuring accuracy. This is particularly important in less experienced readers as CAD increases sensitivity significantly.1-3 Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in the US. In the past decade, colorectal cancer has emerged as one of the most preventable common cancers.4 CTC has been shown to be highly effective in the detection of polyps and adenomas in the colon.5-6 It is possible, however, for radiologists to have difficulty visualizing polyps, even with careful study review.7 CAD for CTC has been shown to be effective in the detection of colonic polyps8 and to have a positive effect on reader sensitivity.9,10 VeraLook can be used with a wide variety of patient preparation protocols and can analyze images with or without stool tagging. VeraLook uses sophisticated image processing software to identify colon polyps in CTC images, which can help to streamline the reading process and improve workflow for radiologists while supporting greater accuracy in colon cancer screenings.

VeraLook is designed to enhance clinician accuracy and effectiveness by improving detection of colonic polyps — pedunculated, sessile, flat and fluid submerged.10 In addition, the software may improve clinical confidence in interpreting exams, particularly for less experienced readers.8 The technology, which is used in conjunction with industry leading advanced CTC software applications, is commercially available in leading healthcare facilities in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Superb algorithms detect more polyps VeraLook uses advanced algorithms to detect and highlight potential polyps and adenomas...
