	Description:		You’ve most probably seen holograms in the media and in the movies – these are 3D images formed by the interference of light beams from a laser. Now, imagine it being applied to internal organs to detect disease, specifically in the colon. At the University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Judy Yee is doing just that for about 20 percent of her CT colonography cases. "I was first introduced to it by EchoPixel and was able to combine my knowledge of colonic pathology and disease and what I know about CT colonography to work with them, to develop sort of the next step in where to go with CT colonography." The goal is to make this a study that’s appealing to patients to prevent disease. "But also to make it easier for the radiologists who interpret these studies, to make it engaging and easier and as accurate, if not more accurate."
