Capsule Endoscopy
Capsule endoscopy is a revolutionary, minimally invasive procedure used to visualize the small intestine. It involves swallowing a small, pill-sized camera that captures thousands of images as it travels through the digestive tract. This advanced diagnostic method is especially helpful for detecting sources of unexplained bleeding, Crohn’s disease, small bowel tumors, and other abnormalities that may not be visible through traditional endoscopy or colonoscopy.
Who Should Consider Capsule Endoscopy?
- Unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding
- Suspected or confirmed Crohn’s disease
- Iron-deficiency anemia
- Small bowel tumors or polyps
- Unexplained abdominal pain

How It Works
- Patient swallows a capsule with a built-in camera
