Capsule Endoscopy
Wireless capsule endoscopy for comprehensive visualization of the small bowel, detecting obscure GI bleeding, Crohn's disease, and small bowel tumors.
Overview
Small bowel capsule endoscopy is a non-invasive procedure that uses a wireless, pill-sized camera to capture thousands of images as it travels through the digestive tract. This allows visualization of the small intestine, an area difficult to reach with traditional endoscopy.
