Update on Small Bowel Endoscopy

Practical Lessons from the Small Bowel Bleeding Lesions: A Case Report on Small Bowel Cavernous Hemangioma

Diagnosis and Treatment of Small Bowel Cancers Using Radioactive Gold Nanoparticles and Wireless Fluorescence Capsule Endoscopy

Background: Therapeutic and diagnosis properties of radioactive gold nanoparticle (198-AuNPs) cause them to be suitable for detection and treatment of tumors.Objective: Electrical and optical properties of PEG-198AuNPs were examined in this paper. Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)-198 AuNPs can be used for treatment and diagnosis of small intestine tumors.Methods: Wireless fluorescence capsule endoscop...

Capsule Endoscopy in Celiac Disease

Capsule endoscopy (CE) has been increasingly used for diagnosing disease of the small bowel. It is an attractive technique for assessing celiac disease (CD) because it is noninvasive and provides a close and magnified view of the mucosa of the entire small bowel. The aim of this paper is to update the current data on the use of CE for diagnosing villous atrophy and complications of CD.

Video capsule endoscopy for the investigation of the small bowel: primary care diagnostic technology update.

ADVANTAGES OVER EXISTING TECHNOLOGY Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) was first developed in 1999 and has been in widespread use since the late 2000s. It is primarily used for investigation of the small bowel and has the advantage of being able to accurately examine the small bowel which cannot be easily reached by standard endoscopy methods. The major advantages are that it is non-invasive, safe, ...

3-D Modeling and Virtual Endoscopy of the Small Bowel Based on MR Imaging in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Investigative Radiology 2002;37(9):528-533

Rationale and Objectives: Small bowel MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a new imaging modality which excellently depicts small intestine pathology in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Virtual endoscopy based on sectional imaging is a recently introduced technique to create endoscopy like views. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of virtual small bowel endoscopy base...

Improved capsule endoscopy after bowel preparation.

BACKGROUND The diagnostic yield of capsule endoscopy depends on the quality of visualization of the small-bowel wall and complete passage through the small bowel. This study examined the effect of bowel preparation on the volume of intestinal content and on small-bowel transit. METHODS Sixty-one consecutive patients (34 men, 27 women; mean age 56 years, range 17-88 years) were enrolled in the...
