The PillCam (Video Capsule Endoscopy) eliminates the need for painful, invasive diagnostic procedures. The PillCam is a capsule with a small camera inside. The patient ingests the capsule, allowing for photos to be made inside the digestive tract. Based on these photos, the physician can proceed with additional examination if necessary or formulate a treatment plan. The PillCam opens up valuable opportunities because the technique is non-invasive (the patient can proceed with their everyday activities during the examination). The camera capsule is considered a potential game-changer in diagnostics.
