www.hopkinsmedicine.org

Lower endoscopy with colonic biopsy is the standard of diagnosis. Colonoscopy is the primary method for examination of the colon with extremely low complication rates (0.1–0.3%). The procedure allows the physician to visualize and biopsy the lower gastrointestinal tract with a high-resolution color view of the mucosa through wide-angle optics.
