| 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. |
| If an abnormality is detected, the doctor can remove it or take tissue samples using instruments passed through the colonoscope. |
| 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. |
| A video chip in the colonoscope transmits an image of the lining of the colon to a monitor. |
| Surprisingly, those who had the colonoscope in longer on average remembered less total pain. |
| A biopsy may also be conducted in which abnormal tissue is removed by using the colonoscope and then examined under a microscope for signs of cancer. |
