Federal and State Recording Laws. The U.S. and the states have their own laws governing the legality of surreptitious recording of oral, telephonic, and other communications. A personâs secret taping of a conversation is governed by the laws of the state in which she is making the recording unless the federal law is more protective of privacy.
A screening colonoscopy is a service performed on an asymptomatic person for the purpose of testing for the presence of colorectal cancer or colorectal polyps. Whether a polyp or cancer is ultimately found does not change the screening intent of that procedure.
During a colonoscopy, tissue samples can be collected (biopsy) and abnormal growths can be taken out. Colonoscopy can also be used as a screening test to check for cancer or precancerous growths in the colon or rectum (polyps). The colonoscope is a thin, flexible tube that ranges from 48 in. (125 cm) to 72 in. (183 cm) long.
