Patients With Incomplete Colonoscopy a Comparison of Colon Capsule Endoscopy and CT Colonography

A total of 8000 colonoscopies are performed on a yearly basis on the Funen Island. Between 5% and 10% of those are incomplete due to excessive pain, fixed colon loops, and other reasons. The current standard procedure is to refer the patient to the department of radiology for a CT-colonography. In some instances the radiology department can offer the investigation the next day, and thus in the same colon preparation. At other times they cannot, and the patient has to go through an second colon preparation for the colonography. A CCE procedure could be provided to the participants immediately after the failed colonoscopy and the investigation can be completed the next morning in the same bowel preparation without a visit to the radiology department.
