"X-ray alternative to colon test found effective; Method cheaper, could get more to screen for cancer" by Mike Stobbe, Associated Press | September 18, 2008
ATLANTA - The gold standard is colonoscopy, in which a long, thin tube equipped with a small video camera is snaked through the large intestine to view the lining. Any growth can be removed during the procedure.
It requires sedation and a missed day of work, not to mention preparation that uses pills or liquids to clean out the bowel. The study focused on CT colonography, also known as virtual colonoscopy.
