Opis

The gastrointestinal (GI) or digestive system extracts the essence of our diet and keeps our body active, but nowadays an increasing number of people are being affected by GI disorders due to malignant diseases like gastric cancer, tumors and bleeding to name a few. Early detection is important for effective prevention and treatment that can prevent subsequent complications or diseases. Advanced endoscopy has a great potential to serve this purpose of early detection screening. It can provide comfortable, painless diagnosis to the patient and may reduce the time span for the patient to stay in a health care facility and more importantly, it makes it possible for a thorough diagnosis to be performed seamlessly without interrupting the patient's daily activities. This is possible because wireless capsule endoscopes (WCEs) are able to travel to the parts where the typical endoscopes fails to reach such as small bowel area, and this can be done without full supervision by a specialist.Wireless Capsule endoscopy (WCE) is a simple, safe, non-invasive, reliable technique, well accepted and tolerated by the patients, which allows complete exploration of the small intestine.
