Capsule Endoscope

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