Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is a non-invasive method of visually examining the internal lumen of small intestine for inflammation and bleeding through a wireless camera contained in a small capsule. Currently, VCE technology is limited because it cannot map images to their specific locations in the small bowel. Furthermore, approximately 40% of identified problem areas are false positives, making bleeding difficult to find. Therefore, physicians can only estimate the location of inflammation and bleeding areas based on the elapsed time before performing a wired endoscopy. Our pill camera offers an innovative wireless imaging GPS-like location system, in an easy to swallow pill that accurately identifies and displays bleeding areas within the small intestine through an intuitive user interface, which results in a 50% reduction in clinical times, as well as improved diagnosis for potential investors and providers, thus resulting in a $500 cost reduction in physician fees per patient.

Until 2001, the nonsurgical evaluation of the small intestine was largely limited to the use of radiologic imaging (e.g., small bowel follow-through or enteroclysis). With the now widespread availability of video capsule endoscopy and deep enteroscopy since 2001, we are now able to visualize the length and most of the mucosa of the small intestine and manage small bowel lesions that were previously inaccessible except by surgical intervention. This review serves as an overview for these two procedures, detailing the indications and contraindications, proper timing of the procedure, technical aspects of the devices themselves, possible complications, and outcomes. Figures show endoscopic images that demonstrate multiple angioectasias, bleeding during capsule endoscopy, active Crohn disease of the small bowel, severe mucosal scalloping, small bowel carcinoid tumor, small bowel polyp associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug enteropathy; serial x-rays of a patient with a patency capsule retained inside the small intestine; a computer image showing the distribution of small bowel tumors; and a pie chart displaying the breakdown of the distribution of benign and malignant tumors that can be found in the small intestine. Videos show multiple angioectasias, bleeding during capsule endoscopy, active Crohn disease of the small bowel, small bowel carcinoid tumor, and small bowel polyp associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.

Abstract BACKGROUND Small bowel obscured its lesions as secrets which were difficult to diagnose before video capsule endoscopy as a new modality for investigation. Aim of the study Evaluation of video capsule endoscopy in comparison to radiological examination in detection of small bowel lesions. Patients and methods Fifty patients were recruited from Kafrawy Video Capsule Endoscopy Unit of Internal Medicine Department and endoscopy unit of Ain Shams University Hospital. The study included patients with occult or overt GIT bleeding, patients with unexplained microcytic iron deficiency anemia, patients with chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain, with normal upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy. Exclusion of any patient younger than 18 years old, has intestinal stricture, achalasia, or dysphagia. All patients were studied biochemically with CBC and radiological by CT pelvis and abdomen with IV and oral positive contrast some of them were radiologically examined with CTE or CT mesenteric angiography. All patients were endoscopically examined by OGD, colonoscopy, VCE, and some of them were examined also with enteroscope. Results The study revealed that the detection rate of SB lesions with VCE was 84%. In the current study, (44%) of cases had AVMs, (72.73) % of them were above the age of forty five, and (27.27) % were below the age of forty five. All patients who were investigated with CT mesenteric angiography revealed negative results. In this study (20) % of patients had SB masses and polyps, (70) % of them were at age of forty five or more and only (30) % of them were below the age of forty five. All patients underwent CT pelvis and abdomen with IV and oral positive contrast, and we found that all patients had a negative results regarding the SB lesions. In comparison between CTE and VCE in detection of SB vascular lesions CTE did not detect SB vacular lesions. On the other hand, VCE detected the AVMs in the cases with negative CTE results. In this study one patient (2)% was diagnosed with hookworm infection. All patient underwent for OGD. We found that (20)% of patients had a significant gastric or duodenal lesions (proximal to the papilla) by VCE but missed by upper GI endoscopy. In our study the concomitant of VCE and enteroscope increase the detection of SB vascular lesions than isolated use of VCE only. Conclusion VCE has a high detection rate of SB lesions (84)%. CTE has a low significance in detection of SB vascular lesions and CT mesenteric angiography sensitivity relatively low. AVMs more common with increasing the age. PHE and SB ectopic varicies, were found to be common causes of GIT bleeding in CLD patient. There is a significant rate of missed gastric and duodenal (proximal to the papilla) lesions that the cause of GIT bleeding and unexplained iron deficiency anemia in OGD examination that were detected by VCE.
