  2. 1. Role of capsule endoscopy in small bowel management

    Author : Artur Nemeth; Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Capsule endoscopy; Crohn s disease; ; Patency capsule; small bowel; Capsule retention;

    Abstract : The small bowel is difficult to reach and to examine endoscopically. Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) using a wireless imaging technology was introduced 2000. VCE is an ingestible capsule camera that takes photographs during its passage throughout the gastrointestinal tract. READ MORE

  4. 2. Optimising performance in clinical capsule endoscopy

    Author : Anastasios Koulaouzidis; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Capsule endoscopy; small bowel innovation; image improvement; software; localisation; KID; FICE;

    Abstract : Video capsule endoscopy (VCE), perfomed by ingesting a small vitamin-sized camera pill, was developed over a period of a couple of decades and –since its introduction in clinical practice at the dawn of the millennium– has become an essential tool in the diagnosis and management of small bowel (SB) diseases. At the same time, other fields such as minimally invasive diagnosis of other parts of the gastointestinal (GI) tract has been or is currently explored as future applications of this technology.

  5. 3. Capsule endoscopy in the diagnosis of small bowel disease

    Author : Charlotte Höög; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Capsule endoscopy (CE) is a method for examining the small bowel by means of an ingested encapsulated video camera, propelled by peristalsis, to continuously take images during its passage through the gastrointestinal tract. The method has been in clinical use in Sweden since 2002 and is considered user-friendly and well tolerable by patients. READ MORE

  6. 4. Intestinal transplantation: Outcome, complications and diagnostic approach

    Author : Jonas Varkey; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Intestinal transplantation; rejection; endoscopy;

    Abstract : Background: Intestinal transplantation is a potentially lifesaving procedure conducted in candidates with e.g. intestinal failure. However, a limiting factor has been the complications, which are inherent to the procedure, along with the inadequacies of current modalities to establish a prompt diagnosis of acute cellular rejection.
