Normal Findings and Landmarks in Capsule Endoscopy

Abstract: The small intestine is a part of the gastrointestinal tract in which digestion and absorption of nutrients takes place. The small bowel follows the stomach and is followed by the large intestine, reaching from the pylorus to the valve of Bauhin and is separated into the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum.

Capsule endoscopy (CE) has the potential to offer a perfect overview of the small-bowel mucosa and complete visualization of the entire small bowel is achieved in most cases. In this video, there is an overview offered on normal findings in small-bowel CE and typical anatomical landmarks are indicated. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
