New X-Ray found!


Over the past few years, many studies have been done to see if there was an easier way to detect for the second leading cause of death in American - Colon Cancer. The only way we used to be able to find this out is the unfortunate colonoscopy, which many people try to avoid at all costs. More recently, scientists have found a high tech radiation X-ray to find these cysts and abscesses in the color from outside of the body. It is more technical than a CT scan and much less serious than a colonoscopy. The advantages to have this X-ray is so that more people will be less likely to get their annual colon check after a certain age. Also, it helps individuals that suffer from severe digestive track diseases. Many people have to receive annual and semi-annual checks, for they are more likely to grow these unfortunate lumps, although now with the latest breakthrough it will be much easier to follow up with your screenings.
