"Virtual colonoscopy
is an exciting advanced imaging technique that acts as a safe, fast, and
effective screening tool for colorectal cancer and clinically significant
polyps, and is the only full structural colorectal examination that also
permits evaluation of the extracolonic organs of the abdomen and pelvis."
Ira Scott Smalberg, M.D.

"Results from major
centers in the
United States show accuracy to be comparable to conventional colonoscopy for
detection of polyps of significant size - that is, greater than 10 mm - with
few false-positives."
