A member asked:

Are there any hospitals that offer an mri colonoscopy? i can't have the regular colonoscopy or the ct colonoscopy.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Have draw backs: Besides expensive MRI is not accurate for diagnosis of polyps of the colon . Colonoscopy is 100 % accurate , virtual CT about 80 % , by MRI 50 % . Speak to your doctor
