Description
Highlights: • Colon cancer is missed in 20% of abdominal CT examinations in patients proved to have colon cancer. • Peritumoural findings and shorter tumour length contribute to failure of detection. • Radiologists' training should emphasise these imaging findings. • Clinicians should be aware of the limitations of non-dedicated CT in colon cancer detection. To assess the frequency of undetected colon cancer on conventional abdominal CT and to evaluate the imaging features that are characteristic of those cancers.
