South Pointe is pleased to announce that it is one of the first area hospitals to use high-definition television as part of a new endoscopic platform to screen patients for colorectal cancer.  With this new equipment, physicians can see a greater level of detail during examinations, which may help to enhance patient diagnoses. For patients, the procedure is more comfortable and the procedure time is shortened.

After using the new technology for several months, gastroenterologists have found the experience has been promising. This new equipment has proven to be a beneficial addition to the tools available for endoscopic diagnosis, treatment and video observation. It allows visualization to discern questionable areas.
