Despite huge differences in the reimbursement of virtual colonoscopy, its use has gone up three times.

Computed tomography colonography also witnessed a rise in denial rates. Nearly 70% of the claims in 2005 were rejected.
"Although a reduction in national denial rates from 70 percent to 43 percent reflects considerable early progress, when contrasted with denial rates of just 4 percent for established technologies such as abdominal CT, opportunities clearly exist for further improvements in patient access through ongoing expansion of coverage," wrote the researchers.
