Improving Colon Cancer Screening Adherence by the Establishment of a CT Colonography Program

This webinar will address the ongoing challenge of colorectal cancer (CRC), the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States, and the continued gap in screening adherence. Early detection and removal of precancerous lesions significantly reduce mortality, highlighting the importance of accessible screening strategies. While optical colonoscopy remains the most widely used visual modality, its invasive nature may limit patient participation. This session will explore Computed Tomography Colonography (CTC) as a noninvasive, efficient alternative that may improve screening uptake and expand access to effective CRC detection.

After completing this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Review current guidelines and recommendations for CRC screening
• Discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of different CRC screening methods—with a focus on comparing OC vs. CTC
• Describe CTC procedures and summarize how to implement a successful CRC screening program

The content of this CE webinar is intended for technologists and other healthcare professionals involved with CRC screening.
