Virtual Colonography

Virtual colonography is the accepted terminology being employed for virtual colonoscopy post maturation of the technology. CT scan slices are taken, and assembled back together as a 3D model of a person's colon, which is then analysed as a virtual environment. Since no scoping probes are ever inserted, the procedure's name has changed to reflect this.

Virtual Colonography vs. Standard Colonoscopy
Virtual colonography is a relatively new field, which is completely non-invasive. A computed Topography (CT) scan is taken, where the body is invasively scanned into slices, which are then reconstituted into a 3D model of a person's colon, for a painless colonoscopy.
