Harvard Medical video: "Virtual colonoscopy" almost as accurate as real colonoscopy

To watch video on Gather
you need the latest Macromedia Flash Player software.
Would you like to install it now?

A technique using x-rays rather than a tube in the colon finds 9 out of 10 cancers. But you still need the clean out.

I really hope that by the time I reach the age where I need a colonoscopy (in about 15 years) that they have the x-ray techniques mastered. I know it's just a matter of time. Thanks for the informative information Anthony!
