Abstract
Video capsule endoscopy has revolutionized direct endoscopic imaging of the gut.Small-bowel video capsule endoscopy (SBVCE) is now the first-line procedure for exploring the small bowel in case of obscure digestive bleeding and has also some room in case of Crohn's disease, coeliac disease and polyposis syndrome. In case of obscure digestive bleeding the main lesions are angioectasias, erosions/ulcerations and tumors. As for conventional optical endoscopy search was done for improving the detection and characterization of small-bowel lesions.The Fujinon Intelligent Chromoendoscopy (FICE) has been adapted on the software of the SBVCE (Given Imaging®/Medtronics). Although there are some conflicting results on the efficacy of FICE for detecting more lesions than with conventional light, it is now recognized that FICE – particularly the setting 1 – may enhance the delineation or characterization of lesions. The use of three-dimensional representation technique is now feasible but still needs further research.
