English
Authors' recommendations:
Capsule endoscopy, also called wireless capsule endoscopy or video capsule endoscopy, is a noninvasive procedure in which the patient swallows a multivitamin-sized capsule containing a miniaturized video camera, light transmitter, and batteries. The camera takes a video recording of the mucosal lining of the esophagus, small bowel, and/or colon as the capsule moves through the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is intended to detect signs of gastrointestinal disease.
