A capsule endoscopy is a test healthcare providers use to look for problems in your digestive tract. It's especially good at finding issues in your small intestine (small bowel).
Capsule endoscopy is a procedure that uses a tiny wireless camera to take pictures of your digestive tract. A capsule endoscopy camera sits inside a vitamin-size capsule you swallow. As the capsule travels through your digestive tract, the camera takes thousands of pictures that are transmitted to a recorder you wear on a belt around your waist
The patient is usually asked to fast for a period before the procedure to ensure the digestive tract is clear. This may involve not eating or drinking anything except water for a certain number of hours before the test.
The patient swallows a small, pill-sized capsule that contains a tiny camera, a light source, and other electronic components. The capsule is designed to be small enough to pass through the digestive system naturally.
The patient wears a small data recorder on a belt or harness around their waist. This device captures and records the images transmitted from the capsule as it moves through the gastrointestinal tract. Electrodes are placed on the patient’s abdomen to help with the transmission of images.
As the capsule moves through the digestive system, it takes thousands of images and transmits them to the data recorder. The recorder collects these images for later analysis. The capsule's battery typically lasts between 8 to 12 hours, depending
After the capsule has passed through the digestive tract and been excreted in the stool, the patient returns the data recorder to the medical facility. A healthcare professional then reviews the recorded images to identify any abnormalities or issues in the gastrointestinal tract.
