Procedure for Small Bowel Video Capsule Endoscopy

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The standard equipment necessary to perform a small bowel video capsule endoscopy (SBCE) procedure is summarized in Table 4.1. A video capsule designed for small bowel evaluation is required. Measuring 26 mm × 11 mm, current models operate at either a fixed frame rate of 4 frames per second (Fig. 4.1) or an adaptive frame rate of 2–6 frames per second. Each capsule is sealed in a small box and marked with an identifiable number and expiration date. The capsule is activated upon opening the box and has a minimum battery life of 12 h. Specific technological detail was discussed further in Chap. 3.

The work was first published in 2006 by Springer Medizin Verlag Heidelberg with the following title: Atlas of Video Capsule Endoscopy.
