A member asked:
Can a virtual colonoscopy detect or see bleeding in the colon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No,: not in general. It may detect the cause of bleeding, for example a mass or signs of colitis, but blood in the colon will in most cases be either undetectable or look like generic fluid.
