Mo1657 EVALUATION OF SAFETY, USABILITY, AND PATIENT COMPLIANCE USING C-SCAN SYSTEM FOR COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENING: US PILOT STUDY
Current strategies to prevent colorectal cancer (CRC) vary considerably with regard to effectiveness, up-front costs, risks, invasiveness and patient compliance. A known barrier for patients is the cleanse needed for colonoscopy. A non-invassive screening test where structural information could be provided, but not require cleansing of the colon. The C-Scan ® capsule-based system is a preparation-free test for CRC screening. The system is based on a low dose radioactive (RA) sealed source embedded in the C-Scan capsule, which radiates X-Rays through a collimator to all directions.
