Abstract
The distal body and antrum of the stomach are often clearly visualized by video capsule endoscopy (VCE), whereas the proximal portions are not. Changing the patient’s position after capsule ingestion may increase the diagnostic yield in the stomach [1], but even so, all of the stomach cannot be reliably evaluated with VCE [2]. Nevertheless, attention should be given to any gastric pathology that may be observable at VCE, as bleeding lesions in the stomach may have been missed at prior gastroscopy [3, 4].
The work was first published in 2006 by Springer Medizin Verlag Heidelberg with the following title: Atlas of Video Capsule Endoscopy.
