Capsule Endoscopy
At Vedanta Superspeciality Center, we offer advanced Capsule Endoscopy—a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure that allows detailed imaging of the small intestine using a swallowable capsule with a built-in camera. This innovative technology provides a non-surgical way to investigate areas that are hard to reach with traditional endoscopy or colonoscopy.
Capsule Endoscopy is especially useful for detecting bleeding, inflammation, ulcers, and tumors in the small bowel. It provides high-resolution images as the capsule travels naturally through the digestive tract, transmitting data to an external recorder for analysis by our expert gastroenterologists.
What Conditions Can Capsule Endoscopy Help Diagnose?
- Unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding
- Suspected small bowel tumors or polyps
- Iron-deficiency anemia of unknown cause
- Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease)
- Small bowel ulcers or vascular malformations
- Abnormal imaging results needing further evaluation
How is Capsule Endoscopy Performed?
The procedure is simple and comfortable. The patient swallows a vitamin-sized capsule that contains a tiny camera. As the capsule moves through the digestive system, it captures thousands of images and wirelessly transmits them to a recorder worn around the waist. The entire process takes about 8 hours, after which the data is reviewed by a specialist. The capsule is naturally excreted in stool.
