Colonoscopy aided by magnetic 3D imaging: Is the technique sufficiently sensitive to detect differences between men and women? (1999)
Journal Article
Rowland, R. S., Bell, G. D., Dogramadzi, S., & Allen, C. (1999). Colonoscopy aided by magnetic 3D imaging: Is the technique sufficiently sensitive to detect differences between men and women?. Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing, 37(6), 673-679. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02513366

Colonoscopy tends to be more difficult to perform in women. Women also experience more pain during flexible sigmoidoscopy, and the mean insertion distance of the instrument is less than in men. The `Bladen system', first described in 1993, is a non-r...

There are not enough trained colonoscopists to cope with the present recommended number of examinations required for diagnostic and surveillance purposes. If colorectal cancer screening is to be introduced, endoscopic examination of the large bowel n...
