Results for tag: "Capsule Endoscopy"

Capsule Endoscopy is a medical imaging technique used to diagnose and monitor diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. It involves the ingestion of a small capsule containing a camera and a light source, which transmits images of the digestive tract to a data recorder worn by the patient. The images are then analyzed by a physician to diagnose and monitor diseases such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and small bowel tumors. Capsule Endoscopy is a relatively new technology, but it has become increasingly popular due to its non-invasive nature and its ability to provide detailed images of the digestive tract. It is also advantageous in that it does not require sedation or radiation exposure. Some companies in the Capsule Endoscopy market include Given Imaging, Olympus, and Medtronic. Show Less Read more
