Virtual video capsule gastro-colonoscopy

В этой статье вы узнаете:

Virtual video capsule gastro-colonoscopy Treatment in Germany is a non-invasive method for examining the gastrointestinal tract. We are talking about swallowable capsules slightly larger in size than conventional vitamins. The capsule for the small intestine contains, along with a camera, a light-emitting diode and a transmitting device, an energy source.

From the small intestine, two high-quality, color images are sent once per second, over a nine-hour period, to a recording device that the patient keeps with him. More than 50,000 images are sequentially sent to a computer and compiled into a video image. The capsule leaves the body naturally.

Capsule endoscopy detects chronic, inflammatory, intestinal diseases, tumors, polyposis syndrome (polyps), hidden gastrointestinal bleeding, and celiac arteries.

Capsule endoscopy has been proven to have high diagnostic efficiency in the small intestine as a traditional imaging method.

This study completely closes the diagnostic gap in the small intestine area.

Let us list the main advantages of this method relative to traditional radiological and endoscopic methods:

  • a simple, safe and non-invasive alternative;
  • small dose of radiation;
  • lack of sedation on the patient;
  • refusal to use contrast agents;
  • convenience for the patient when taking the capsule, and minimal harm during the study.

During the examination of the small intestine, the patient can carry out his daily activities virtually unhindered.

Since receiving certification to European Union quality and safety standards and FDA approval in 2001, in less than a year, virtual video capsule gastrocolonoscopy has become the gold standard for detecting stomach and small intestinal diseases. .
