From Acquisition to Interpretation: Optimising CT Colonography Services to Meet NHS Demands for Colorectal Cancer Diagnosis – A Clinical and Educational Perspective

Description

To meet the growing demand in NHS colorectal cancer pathways, expanding CT Colonography services will need to deliver high-quality, efficient, and scalable CTC practice. The session highlights how best practice standardised acquisition and structured interpretation using Advanced 3D visualisation enhances workflow, and supports consistent, high-quality interpretation, creating a sustainable pathway for efficient, outcome-focused CTC service delivery across the NHS. Rachel Baldwin-Cleland from the National CTC Academy will outline a practical, scalable training model aligned to NHS workforce needs, helping departments expand capacity while ensuring best practice high quality CTC services.

• Describe key elements of CT colonography (CTC) acquisition and interpretation that decrease diagnostic accuracy and efficiency
• Explain how structured education reduces variation and supports scalable CTC services
• Identify how to access practical training pathways to support NHS workforce development
• Recognise how advanced 3D visualisation enhances workflow and reporting confidence

This session has been CPD accredited by The College of Radiographers.

This session will be hosted by Canon Medical Systems UK during UKIO 2026.
