What is a "virtual" colonoscopy?
I heart President Obama had a colonoscopy - then later on I heard it was a "virtual" colonoscopy with no invasive camera. How do they do that?

Virtual colonoscopy is a procedure used to look for signs of pre-cancerous growths, called polyps; cancer; and other diseases of the large intestine. Images of the large intestine are taken using computerized tomography (CT) or, less often, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A computer puts the images together to create an animated, three-dimensional view of the inside of the large intestine.

Take care and be well.
