| [ Summary ] | Intestinal diagnostic systems have been developed by implementing VCE (video capsule endoscopy). VCE is a popular tool for initial intestinal examinations. VCE contributes to the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment of DBE (double balloon endoscopy). Both VCE and DBE play roles in discovery of small bowel disease. It is important to be familiar with the clinical manifestation and findings of common small bowel disease because of the high incidence of IBD and other diseases. | |
