What is Virtual Colonoscopy?

Virtual colonoscopy is a minimally invasive, safe and more comfortable procedure for colon cancer screening. Recent studies have shown it to be comparable to conventional colonoscopy. With virtual colonoscopy, 100% of the colon surface can be seen. It is estimated that physicians only see 70%-80% of the colon surface with conventional colonoscopy.
