Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The PillCam COLON capsule is an ingestible capsule equipped with an endoscope that has two imagers, enabling it to acquire video images from both ends. the device measures 31 by 11 mm and acquires images at a rate of 4 frames per second. Recording and downloading of data are similar those of the data for small-bowel capsule endoscopy.
Standard colonoscopy was the standard against which capsule endoscopy was compared,and it was performed after capsule endoscopy (after capsule excretion or at least 10 hours after capsule ingestion, whichever came first), on either the same day as ingestion or the next morning.
