Current status of colon capsule endoscopy in clinical practice

Nat Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2023 Sep;20(9):557-558. doi: 10.1038/s41575-023-00783-2.

Abstract

Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) is used for restricted indications only. Growing demand for out-of-hospital treatment combined with technical and clinical improvements in quality has made a wider use plausible. Artificial intelligence-supported footage analysis and quality assessment might further improve quality and reduce the price of CCE to a competitive level.
