Do you need a colonoscopy? Have you been putting it off? Virtual colonoscopy may be right for you!

This Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, take charge of your health!

In the video below, Dr. Karen Horton, Chair of the Johns Hopkins Department of Radiology, discusses the benefits of virtual colonoscopy, who may be a candidate and how to prepare.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and we are sharing the news that screening saves lives! Early detection is key, and now virtual colonoscopy makes screening quicker and easier than ever.

Virtual colonoscopy, or CT colonography, is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional colonoscopy. The exam scans the colon and re**um for polyps before symptoms occur. The scan can take less than 15 minutes and usually requires no pain medication or anesthesia.

Talk to your doctor to see if virtual colonoscopy may be right for you. To learn more, visit https://bit.ly/JHMIVirtualColonoscopy.

“No one wants to have to have medical imaging done, but Johns Hopkins is a great place to do it. Got a chest x-ray, staff was friendly and helpful, lobby was nice, and I was in and out in under 20 minutes. I had a CT scan here before and they were very helpful as well. Bonus points for the good coffee at the cafe in the lobby.” – Recent Google review
