CT Colonography?

I heard about this today on my local new station... so I went and investigated it.

Found this link:http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=1491190

It's just the abstract for the study... and it was only done with 5 people... but its minimally invasive... an maybe an alternative to a scope? Who knows, but very interesting!

sounds pretty amazing! if this was introduced would it mean no more prep day?

they still require the prep... but no sedation is required since its non invasive

Sounds great! I also think the pillcam is a wonderful test and with that there is no radiation. I know in some places there is a prep for the pillcam, but where we go there is no prep. Probably because my son's duodenum and upper juijium is only involved with crohns.

shoot, if I'm gonna go to all that work, the least they can do is give me a nap

I've got a CT enterography scheduled for next week and another colonoscopy next month. Oh joy.

The sedation is by far the easiest part of the colonoscopy. If they could get rid of the prep, then I would consider this an improvement!
