CT COLON
CT Colonoscopy is a procedure that uses a CT scanner to produce detailed images of the colon and rectum. CT Colonoscopy differs from a routine CT of the abdomen as the large bowel is inflated with carbon dioxide during the CT, enabling us to get detailed views of the lining of the bowel.
A CT scanner uses X-rays to obtain very detailed pictures of the body. The scanner is shaped like a large ‘donut’. The hole is almost 90 cms wide and only about 30 cms deep. You will lie on a movable table and pass through the scanner whilst the X-ray images are being taken. The X-rays pass through the body and are detected by sensors on the other side of the machine. This information then passes to a computer, which produces an image of the structures inside your body.
