Who reads the Virtual Colonoscopy results?
Unlike a conventional colonoscopy which is reported by a gastroenterologist, Virtual Colonoscopy is done by a radiologist. The results are read by a board-certified radiologist who will review your CT images. If prior arrangements were made with the radiologist, the results may be available on the same day, but in most cases the reports are mailed in 48-72 hours. When a lesion has been detected in the colon or in the event of a positive test, the report will be sent to your referring physician at your request.
