Resumen
El presente trabajo está basado en investigación de tipo descriptivo, transversal y prospectivo desarrollado en un universo y tomando como muestra 40 pacientes que acudieron al centro de Imágenes del Hospital Luis Vernaza a realizarse estudios de Imágenes tanto resonancia magnética como ecografía. Objetivo: Establecer la importancia de la colonoscopia virtual en el diagnostico de las patologías del colon en pacientes mayores de 45 a 80 años de edad. Las enfermedades del Colon como divertículos, pólipos, enfermedad de Crohn y masas tumorales se presenta con igual frecuencia tanto en hombres como en mujeres, aunque en ciertos estudios se sugiere una incidencia creciente en mujeres. Se considera que la enfermedad diverticular se produce en cerca de 5% de la población, no es común antes de los 40 años de edad, la incidencia aumenta con la edad, de manera que para la novena década de la vida está presente en el 66% de la población; Parks consideró que está presente en el 5% en el quinto década, aumentando a 50% en la novena década, se estima por lo tanto que hacia los 60 años el 33% de la población en los países desarrollados tendrán algún grado de divertículos del Colon. Conclusiones:. El propósito de este trabajo es mostrar a los pacientes, familiares y futuros profesionales imagenología el buen manejo y control que necesita el paciente según prescripción médica para así lograr un mejoramiento asombroso y mejorar la calidad de vida. Con una metodología factible y de campo de investigación descriptivo de manera cuantitativa, a lo que el proyecto de investigación está enfocado para la asistida clínica de la ciudad de Guayaquil, en el período de enero a marzo del 2013 para así finalmente tener conclusiones y recomendaciones, las cuales están organizadas tanto nivel técnico, como operativo.
The present work is based on descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective research developed in a universe and taking as sample 40 patients who went to the Luis Vernaza Hospital Imaging Center to perform imaging studies, both magnetic resonance and ultrasound. Objective: To establish the importance of virtual colonoscopy in the diagnosis of colon pathologies in patients older than 45 to 80 years of age. Colon diseases such as diverticula, polyps, Crohn's disease and tumor masses occur with equal frequency in both men and women, although in certain studies an increasing incidence in women is suggested. It is considered that diverticular disease occurs in about 5% of the population, it is not common before 40 years of age, the incidence increases with age, so that by the ninth decade of life is present in 66 % of the population; Parks considered that is present in 5% in the fifth decade, increasing to 50% in the ninth decade, it is estimated that by age 60, 33% of the population in developed countries will have some degree of diverticula of the Colon. . Conclusions :. The purpose of this work is to show patients, relatives and future imaging professionals the good management and control that the patient needs according to medical prescription in order to achieve an amazing improvement and improve the quality of life. With a feasible methodology and field of descriptive research in a quantitative manner, to which the research project is focused for the assisted clinic of the city of Guayaquil, in the period from January to March 2013 to finally have conclusions and recommendations, which are organized both technical level, and operational.
