	abstract = {Virtual dissection refers to a display technique for polypdetection, where the colon is digitally straightened and then 
flattened using multirow detector Computed Tomograph (CT) 
images. As compared to virtual colonoscopy where polyps may be 
hidden from view behind the folds, the unravelled colon is more 
suitable for polyp detection, because the entire inner surface 
of the colon is displayed in a single view. The method was 
tested both on artificial and cadaveric phantoms. All polyps 
could be recognized on both phantoms. This technique for virtual 
dissection requires only a minimum of operator interaction.
