How to Assess Regional and Whole Gut Transit Time With Wireless Motility Capsule
Assessment of transit through the gastrointestinal tract provides useful information regarding gut physiology and patho-physiology. Although several methods are available, each has distinct advantages and limitations. Recently, an ingestible wire-less motility capsule (WMC), similar to capsule video endoscopy, has become available that offers a less-invasive, standardized, radiation-free and of...
متن کاملInvestigation of colonic and whole-gut transit with wireless motility capsule and radiopaque markers in constipation.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Colonic transit time (CTT) traditionally is assessed with radiopaque markers (ROMs), which requires radiation and is hindered by lack of standardization and compliance. We assessed regional and CTT with the SmartPill (SmartPill Corporation, Buffalo, NY), a new wireless pH and pressure recording capsule, in constipated and healthy subjects and compared this with ROM. METHODS ...
متن کاملThe assessment of regional gut transit times in healthy controls and patients with gastroparesis using wireless motility technology.
BACKGROUND Wireless pH and pressure motility capsule (wireless motility capsule) technology provides a method to assess regional gastrointestinal transit times. AIMS To analyse data from a multi-centre study of gastroparetic patients and healthy controls and to compare regional transit times measured by wireless motility capsule in healthy controls and gastroparetics (GP). METHODS A total o...
متن کاملNovel MRI tests of orocecal transit time and whole gut transit time: studies in normal subjects
BACKGROUND Colonic transit tests are used to manage patients with Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders. Some tests used expose patients to ionizing radiation. The aim of this study was to compare novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tests for measuring orocecal transit time (OCTT) and whole gut transit time (WGT), which also provide data on colonic volumes. METHODS 21 healthy volunteers pa...
متن کاملWireless pH-motility capsule for colonic transit: prospective comparison with radiopaque markers in chronic constipation.
BACKGROUND Colon transit (CT) measurements are used in the management of significant constipation. The radiopaque marker (ROM) method provides limited information. METHODS We proposed to validate wireless motility capsule (WMC), that measures pH, pressure and temperature, to ROM measurement of CT in patients with symptomatic constipation evaluated at multiple centers. Of 208 patients recruite...
