CT Colon and Rectum W air contrast PR
CT Colon+Rect W Air contr PR
Definition
- CT colonography, also known as virtual colonoscopy, uses low dose radiation CT scanning to obtain an interior view of the colon (the large intestine) that is otherwise only seen with a more invasive procedure where an endoscope is inserted into the rectum and passed through the entire colon. The major reason for performing CT colonography is to screen for polyps or cancers in the large intestine.
