Capsule endoscopy

Capsule endoscopy is a non-invasive medical procedure where a small capsule equipped with a camera is swallowed and takes images of the digestive tract as it moves through the body. The images are transmitted wirelessly to a recorder worn by the patient and reviewed by a physician to diagnose conditions such as Crohn's disease, celiac disease, and gastrointestinal bleeding. It is generally safe and well-tolerated, but not recommended for patients with certain conditions.
