Bupa Colon Health

Bupa Colon Health provides a full assessment of your colon health.

£50 off when you book before 31 December 2009

This assessment uses a virtual colonoscopy, a new technique that enables doctors to look for polyps and cancers in the bowel using a CT scanner. This will need to be performed at a scanning centre. The results are sent to the Bupa centre nearest to you for review with a Bupa doctor. It takes approximately one week to process the results from your scan so the two appointments are scheduled a week apart.

Bupa Colon Health is available on its own or as an add-on to Bupa Advanced, Complete and Mature Health.

Currently, this assessment is only available at selected centres. For advice on how to add additional tests to a core health assessment or where this assessment is available from please call us on 0845 600 3458.

Time with doctor: 15 minutes

What is it?

Virtual colonoscopy (also called a computerised tomography colonography or CT colonography) allows doctors to look at the large bowel (colon).

Why do we do this?

A virtual colonoscopy can examine the colon and rectum and detect abnormalities such as polyps and signs of bowel cancer.

What does the test involve?

The test is done using a CT scanner. The CT scanner uses X-rays to produce two-dimensional and three-dimensional images of the whole of the colon and rectum.

For more information please read the separate Bupa information sheet Virtual colonoscopy.
