Figure 15.  Diminutive filling defect at colonoscopy. Image from conventional colonoscopy shows a 3-mm raised filling defect (arrows), which could not be visualized even in retrospect with 2D or 3D CT colonography. At histologic analysis, the filling defect was a hyperplastic polyp. Most such small lesions are not seen at CT colonography; however, their clinical significance is minimal.
