Capsule endoscopy is a revolutionary technology that involves swallowing a small capsule (about the size of a vitamin) containing a tiny camera. It captures thousands of images of areas that a traditional endoscope cannot reach.
It is the test of choice for examining the small intestine. It is used to detect causes of occult bleeding, diagnose Crohn’s disease, small tumors, or malabsorption syndromes.
Once swallowed with a little water, the capsule travels naturally through the digestive system, sending images to a receiver the patient carries. It is a painless process that does not require sedation or hospitalization.
The capsule is disposable and is passed naturally in the stool. The patient returns the receiver to the clinic so our specialists can download and analyze the collected images.
