Capsule endoscope view of the upper digestive tract as the capsule is swallowed. A capsule endoscope is a pill-sized camera equipped with lights, which records images of the digestive system as it passes through. The capsule is swallowed at the start of the clip, then passes down the smooth oesophagus before entering the more folded stomach. Capsule endoscopy is a useful diagnostic technique that can image the middle part of the small intestine, which is out of reach of endoscopes entering through the mouth or anus. | |
