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. Below, we offer a selection of links from our resource databases which may match this term.
