KEY FACTS

  • Terminology

    TERMINOLOGY

    • Definitions

      • CT Colonography Reporting and Data System (C-RADS) is ACR system for reporting and management of both colonic and extracolonic findings on CT colonography exams
      • Provides assessment categories for both colonic and extracolonic findings with management recommendations
      • Intended for use with dedicated CT colonography exams; not for incidental colonic findings in routine abdominal/pelvic CT exams

    IMAGING ANATOMY

    • C-RADS Imaging Descriptors

      CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS

      • C-RADS Management of Colonic Findings

        • C-RADS Management of Extracolonic Findings
