Computed tomography combines x-rays with the latest computer technology to create cross-sectional images of the colon. Often, physicians call these images “slices.” A computer then reconstructs these slices into a complete, three-dimensional model of your colon. Physicians can inspect the inside of this model without causing any pain. Also, unlike conventional colonoscopy, virtual colonoscopy does not require sedation.
