Ορισμός και Σημασία του "endoluminal capsule monitoring"

What is "endoluminal capsule monitoring"?

Endoluminal capsule monitoring is a medical procedure that involves swallowing a small, pill-sized device that has a camera. As the capsule travels through the digestive system, it captures images, which are sent to a receiver worn by the patient. This allows doctors to examine the digestive system without surgical procedures, helping diagnose conditions such as gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn's disease, or tumors. The capsule eventually exits the body naturally.
