A member asked:
Must i have contrast injection during virtual colonoscopy? what about drinking barium? can virtual colon be done without one or both of these?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The virtual colonoscopy can be done without using any contrast material and just using carbon dioxide or room air into the bowel. The procedure is relatively new and constantly changing.
