Abstract
The prospect of endoscopically visualizing the small bowel is a medical breakthrough. Significant technological advancements are pushing the frontier even further: improved optics, maneuverable capsules, and the possibility of simultaneous sampling and localized treatment. The field has also witnessed software advancements. This chapter will give a basic overview of the current manufacturers capsule endoscopy hardware and software with a major emphasis on the technological improvements since initial release into the marketplace.
