Small bowel imaging has been revolutionized by CT enterography and capsule endoscopy. We present an overview of both imaging modalities, discuss advantages and disadvantages of each, and compare findings in Crohn's disease, occult gastrointestinal bleeding, and small bowel tumors. Both methods complement each other often providing information that the other one cannot.
In our study, we found the PillCam SB2-ex to have a significantly increased completion rate, though without any improvement in diagnostic yield compared to the PillCam SB2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
