What Is a Virtual Colonoscopy?

A virtual colonoscopy — also called CT colonography — is a noninvasive colon cancer screening procedure that uses advanced CT (computed tomography) technology to generate detailed, high-resolution 3D images of your entire colon and rectum. Unlike a traditional colonoscopy, no scope is ever inserted into your body.

At Advanced Body Scan in Oklahoma, our CT scanners capture multiple images per second — fast enough to detect tiny anomalies deep inside your colon that might otherwise go unnoticed. The result is a comprehensive, accurate picture of your colon's health delivered quickly and comfortably.

After your scan, a board-certified radiologist reviews every image personally and prepares a detailed written report — outlining any areas of concern and recommending clear next steps when needed.

Who Should Get a Virtual Colonoscopy?

Colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when caught early. A virtual colonoscopy is recommended not only for patients with symptoms, but also for healthy adults who want peace of mind through proactive screening.

You should be screened if you are:

  • Age 50 or older (routine preventive screening)
  • Age 45+ with a family history of colon cancer
  • A first-degree relative diagnosed with colorectal cancer at a young age
  • Experiencing rectal bleeding or blood in stools
  • Having unexplained abdominal pain or cramping
  • Noticing recent changes in bowel habits
  • Living with Crohn's disease or colitis
  • Seeking a less invasive alternative to traditional colonoscopy

Additional risk factors for colorectal cancer

  • Crohn's DiseaseChronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract significantly increases colorectal cancer risk over time.
  • Colitis & Ulcerative ColitisLong-term inflammation of the colon lining raises the risk of developing cancerous cells.
  • Cigarette SmokingSmoking is a well-established risk factor for colorectal cancer and multiple other serious conditions.
  • Heavy Alcohol ConsumptionRegular heavy drinking is linked to a measurably higher risk of developing colorectal cancer.
  • ObesityA sedentary lifestyle and excess body weight are independently associated with increased colorectal cancer risk.
Even without symptoms or risk factors, adults over 50 should begin regular virtual colonoscopy screening as a preventive measure.

What Can a Virtual Colonoscopy Detect?

Because CT imaging captures your entire abdominal region, a single scan can uncover a broad range of health issues — not just colon cancer.

Æ

Colorectal Cancer

The third most common cancer in the U.S. Early detection through virtual colonoscopy dramatically improves survival rates and treatment options.

Æ

Colon Polyps

Most colorectal cancers begin as polyps. Finding and monitoring these growths early — before they turn cancerous — is the most powerful preventive step available.

Æ

Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are identified as an incidental finding in the same scan — helping you avoid a painful and unexpected episode before it starts.

Æ

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

A dangerous bulge in the aorta that often has no symptoms. Early detection through virtual colonoscopy can be life-saving.

Æ

Diverticulitis

Small pouches that form in the colon wall and can become infected or inflamed. Identified early before complications develop.

Æ

Abnormal Growth & Inflammation

Unexplained masses, enlarged lymph nodes, and signs of inflammatory bowel disease are visible in the scan and included in your radiologist's report.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about virtual colonoscopy at Advanced Body Scan.

Is a virtual colonoscopy painful?
No. A virtual colonoscopy is not painful. There is no scope inserted into your body, no sedation, and no recovery time required. Most patients find the procedure completely comfortable. You can drive yourself to and from your appointment.
How long does a virtual colonoscopy take?
The scan itself is fast and straightforward. Because no anesthesia is required, there is no recovery time — you can leave immediately after the procedure and return to normal activities right away.
What is the difference between a virtual and traditional colonoscopy?
A traditional colonoscopy uses a flexible scope inserted through the rectum, requiring anesthesia, sedation, and extensive bowel preparation the day before. A virtual colonoscopy uses CT imaging to evaluate your colon from outside the body — no scope, no anesthesia, minimal prep, and completed quickly with minimal preparation.
Does a virtual colonoscopy require anesthesia?
No. One of the biggest advantages of a virtual colonoscopy is that it requires no anesthesia or sedation. This eliminates sedation-related risks entirely and means you can drive yourself home immediately after.
How often should I get a virtual colonoscopy?
For average-risk adults, screening every 5 years beginning at age 50 is commonly recommended. If you have risk factors — such as a family history of colon cancer, Crohn's disease, or previous polyps — your physician may recommend more frequent screenings.
Can a virtual colonoscopy detect cancer?
Yes. A virtual colonoscopy can detect colorectal cancer, colon polyps, abdominal aortic aneurysms, diverticulitis, kidney stones, abnormal growths, and signs of inflammation — all in a single scan.
