Abstract
Commentary
Capsule endoscopy (CE) is an exciting new advance in GI-tract imaging. It has expanded our view to include the small bowel, which was historically inaccessible to traditional endoscopes. This unique technology has caught the interest of the public and the lay press. Although its best-defined role is in small-bowel imaging in patients with obscure GI bleeding, other indications are emerging. Dr Glenn Eisen has reviewed the current status of the small-bowel capsule and its newer relative, the esophageal capsule. Current and potential future indications for these exciting technologies are discussed.
胶囊内窥镜(CE)是一项令人兴奋的gi道成像新进展。它扩大了我们的视野，包括小肠，这在历史上是传统内窥镜无法达到的。这种独特的技术引起了公众和非专业媒体的兴趣。虽然其最明确的作用是在消化道出血患者的小肠成像中，但其他适应症正在出现。格伦·艾森博士回顾了小肠胶囊及其新亲戚——食管胶囊的现状。讨论了这些激动人心的技术的当前和潜在的未来迹象。- Grace H. Elta，医学博士，编辑
