LOINC description : CT colonography, also known as virtual colonoscopy, uses low dose radiation CT scanning
to obtain an interior view of the colon (the large intestine) that is otherwise only
seen with a more invasive procedure where an endoscope is inserted into the rectum
and passed through the entire colon. The major reason for performing CT colonography
is to screen for polyps or cancers in the large intestine.;
