| A colonoscope is a long thin flexible tube composed of a flexible bundle of fibers that transmits images on a television screen. |
| It involves diluting stool with a liquid, like salt water, and then pumping it into the intestinal tract via an enema, a colonoscope or a tube run through the nose into the stomach or small intestine. |
| This wide-angle colonoscope offers all benefits of perfect image quality combined with optimum illumination from the centre to the outer edges of each picture. |
| Surprisingly, those who had the colonoscope in longer on average remembered less total pain. |
| A biopsy would involve removing a small piece of tissue through the colonoscope, which would then be sent to a laboratory to test for cancer. |
| The colonoscope not only allows identification and localization of the disease process, but also allows biopsy or even removal of polyps. |
