How Effective Is Virtual Colonoscopy In Diagnosing An Ailment?

Please go ahead with the virtual colonoscopy as scheduled
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. I suggest you go ahead and have the virtual colonoscopy done as scheduled by your doctor. There have been many patients under my care who have had a virtual colonoscopy done and then have proceeded for a real colonoscopy.
2. The information given by virtual colonoscopy is at par with that obtained with a real one. With recent advances in the CT scan machines and protocols, the results of a virtual colonoscopy are also well accepted, if the real one cannot be done.
3. Please go for the virtual colonoscopy as scheduled.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
