Gastroenterology FAQ
Similar to the XRay in dentistry and ultrasound in gynecology, gastroenterology employs its own method of diagnosis. Endoscopies and colonoscopies differ only in their destination organ, but the procedure is the same. Usually done in a state of sedation, a thin tube with a camera-like device at the end is inserted into the esophagus through the digestive tract. These procedures help gastroenterologists to get a closer look at the problems and symptoms the patient is experiencing.
