Are There Any Risks Associated with CT Colonography?
While CT colonography is generally safe, it is not without risks. These include:
Radiation Exposure: The procedure involves exposure to a small amount of radiation. Discomfort: The process of inflating the colon can cause temporary discomfort or cramping. False Positives/Negatives: There is a risk of false positive or false negative results, which could lead to unnecessary follow-up procedures or missed diagnoses.
