Capsule endoscopy, also called wireless capsule endoscopy, is a procedure in which a swallowable, multivitamin-sized capsule containing a miniaturized video camera, light, transmitter, and batteries takes a video recording of the mucosal lining of the esophagus, small bowel, and/or colon as it moves through the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is intended to visualize signs of gastrointestinal disease.
