Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Capsule Endoscopy

Abstract

Although optical technology in the gastrointestinal tract has much improved in the last decade, image quality is only as good as the preparation achieved. As current capsule technology does not allow suctioning or flushing of fluid from the surface of the small bowel mucosa, there is consequently a greater imperative for adequate preparation to optimise detection of any potential lesion by the capsule endoscope.
