Sigmoidoscopy With Ultrasound Imaging

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 45341

A flexible scope is passed through the anus into the rectum and lower colon, and an ultrasound probe built into its tip produces images of the layers of the bowel wall and the tissue just beyond it. This shows how deeply a growth or other problem reaches, which cannot be judged by looking at the surface alone. No tissue is taken during this examination itself.
