Our Colon Service offers CT virtual colonoscopy, also known as CT colonography, using 3D imaging techniques to create a visual reconstruction of the colon. This service transforms 2D CT scan data into a 3D model, allowing for a non-invasive virtual fly-through examination of the colon's interior. This 3D visualization may be useful for the detection of polyps, tumors, or other abnormalities, providing a thorough assessment of the colon's health with greater accuracy and detail than traditional methods.

CT virtual colonoscopy serves as a less invasive alternative to traditional colonoscopy, potentially increasing patient compliance due to its non-intrusive nature. This method facilitates timely detection of colorectal conditions and contributes to better outcomes in colorectal health management by enabling early identification and treatment of issues.

The primary goal of this post-processing service is to enhance radiologists' ability to accurately assess the colon, providing either an initial review or a supplemental assessment of the dataset. Additionally, it ensures the documentation of study images on PACS, maintaining a detailed record for future reference and contributing to consistent and thorough patient care.
