Colonoscopy with Biopsy Overview
A colonoscopy with biopsy is a diagnostic procedure that allows doctors to examine the inside of your colon (large intestine) and rectum. During the procedure, small tissue samples (biopsies) may be taken for further analysis. This procedure is crucial for detecting colorectal cancer, polyps, and other intestinal conditions.
Types of Colonoscopy with Biopsy
- Standard Colonoscopy with Biopsy: Traditional method using a flexible tube with a camera.
- Virtual Colonoscopy: Uses CT scans to create 3D images of the colon (biopsy performed separately if needed).
- Chromoendoscopy: Uses dyes to highlight abnormal tissues for more accurate biopsies.
- Narrow Band Imaging (NBI): Utilizes special light wavelengths to enhance visibility of suspicious areas.
