Overview
Magnetic resonance colonography (MRC) is not routinely used for the diagnosis of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer. Although it is associated with less discomfort as compared to colonoscopy, it has poor sensitivity in detecting small polyps, limiting its utility in adenoma screening at this time.
MRI
- Magnetic resonance colonography (MRC) is not routinely used for the diagnosis of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer.
- Although it is associated with less discomfort than colonoscopy, it has poor sensitivity in detecting small polyps, limiting its utility in adenoma screening at this time.[1]
