To stimulate classroom discussion and collaboration amid the COVID-19 pandemic, increasingly creative pedological methods for nursing education are necessary. Traditionally, high-fidelity simulation has been the standard for nursing education, but the use of virtual reality simulation is increasing. One of the major evaluative measures of simulation clinical training is the cost associated with each modality.

CT colonography for colorectal cancer screening has been proved to be effective and cost-saving. CT colonography uses minimally invasive evaluation of colorectum and has better patient acceptance, which appears to be a promising screening modality to improve low colorectal cancer screening rate. This study investigated the utilization patterns of CT colonography and factors associated with its use among U.S. adult population.
