A member asked:
Can ct with rectal and iv contrast rule out small polyps or lessions in the colon?proctoscope and rectal exam are clean.no blood in stool.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Small polyps: would be very difficult to diagnose on such an exam. A tailored "CT Colonography" would be better. Standard colonoscopy would be best.
