flexible endoscopes and innovative scope attachments to help with
maneuverability and visibility so that your GI doctors can move more
easily through the colon and see more clearly. Here's a review.
Maneuverability
Moving the scope successfully and safely can be a tricky thing. That's
where certain types of scope tools, like 3D imaging technology, can be
an enormous help. Some scopes have the imaging technology built
into the body of the scope. The technology lets your doctors see a 3D
image of the scope on a nearby screen, including every little motion
and loop the device makes, says Seth Gross, MD, chief of gastroen-
terology at Tisch Hospital in New York, N.Y.
This can help doctors identify which type of loop is giving them
trouble, whether it's an 'N' loop, which is seen in 80% of colono-
