The Future of Capsule Endoscopy
The Keio Journal of Medicine, 2013 Small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) was introduced 11 years ago by Given Imaging and is becoming the gold standard for small-bowel examination. This major step in the field of digestive medicine has opened the possibility of promising non-invasive explorations of the esophagus, stomach, and colon.
