MR Colonography has been demonstrated to be a promising modality for detection of clinically significant polyps in the Western population. To the best of our knowledge there are no studies in Asian population. We performed a prospective comparison study of MR Colonography with conventional colonoscopy. The results of our study show that MR Colonography is feasible and has 94% accuracy for detection of clinically significant polyps similar to that reported in literature.
