Video Capsule Elndoscopy
An imaging test for the small intestine using a camera the size of a pill
Video capsule endoscopy – commonly referred to as “pill cam” – is a diagnostic procedure that enables your gastroenterologist to examine three portions of your small intestine using a tiny camera the size of a large vitamin pill. The video capsule is swallowed and as it travels through the body, images are sent to a data recorder worn on a waist belt.Click here for the Patient Instruction Sheet
