My CT Colonography Center Locator Tool

The American College of Radiology (ACR) is now offering the My CT Colonography Center online locator, a patient-friendly online tool to find a computed tomography (CT) colonography screening center near you.

Bracco Diagnostics, Inc. originally developed the tool, which includes 120 centers – only a portion of the more than 700 estimated centers that perform CT Colonography (CTC). The ACR will now work with stakeholders to explore ways to achieve the goal of having all facilities that perform CTC registered on a center locator. To date, there are 220 centers registered for the locator tool.

The webpage also includes patient brochures on CTC, a video of a patient receiving a CTC, and more.

Evaluation: This tool was developed as a collaborative effort with Bracco Diagnostic and ACR CTC registry participants discussing a need to increase awareness of CTC screening option for patients.


Permissions: Made publicly available online by the American College of Radiology.

This webinar unveiled the new Guide to the Development of State Level Colorectal Cancer Coalitions as well as a companion piece, an action-oriented summary report and workbook. The webinar begins by taking a look at the ten tasks which help coalitions initiate, maintain, and grow their efforts. Then, presenters speak to their experiences and lessons learned from two states, Kentucky and California. These two states were some of the earliest leaders in establishing successful state level colorectal cancer coalitions, and their expertise was instrumental in the development of these resources.
