Hydrocolonic ultrasonography -- abdominal ultrasonography in conjunction with the retrograde instillation of water into the colon -- has been advocated as an alternative to colonoscopy for detecting colorectal polyps and cancer. We conducted a prospective, blinded trial to evaluate the procedure further.Keywords
