Popis:	In Chap. 5 the routine preparation and methods of colon cleansing were discussed. A common refrain we hear is “the worst thing about colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is the preparation.” While reduced cathartic and even so-called “prepless” CTC without any cathartic have been done successfully in published reports, these processes have not yet reached the mainstream for clinical application. A well-known phrase among abdominal radiologists who perform barium enemas was “heaven is a clean colon.” The same still holds true for CTC, yet the possibility of routine “prepless” CTC is within the realm of feasibility [1]. Below we will discuss these options.
