Abstract
Traditional colonoscopy is the gold standard for evaluation of the colon for polyps, cancer, and inflammation. Applied with high expertise and a high technical standard, it is an accurate, safe diagnostic and therapeutic procedure with a high success rate, but between 4.2 and 19 % of colonoscopies are reported to be incomplete [1–3]. Considering the large number of screening colonoscopies worldwide, this percentage leads to a significant amount of incomplete procedures—such as more than 20,000 in 6 years in Ontario, Canada [4].
The work was first published in 2006 by Springer Medizin Verlag Heidelberg with the following title: Atlas of Video Capsule Endoscopy.
