Capsule endoscopy is the video evaluation of the small intestine.  The capsule endoscope is a small video camera which is swallowed.  After swallowing, you can resume your normal activities.  After 8 hours, you bring the data recording equipment back to our office.  Later, our physicians will review the images on a computer.  We will contact you within a few days with results after our physicians have viewed the images.
