CT Colonography

CT Colonography or “Virtual Colonoscopy” is a well established screening tool for bowel (colon) cancer, for both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients. Its accuracy for detection of cancer is equivalent to conventional colonoscopy. It is extremely safe, fast and is less invasive than conventional colonoscopy. No sedation is required and you may resume normal activities straight afterwards.

CT imaging uses special low-dose x-ray equipment combined with powerful computing technology to create detailed 2D and 3D images of the body. CT is considered to be very safe and painless.
