Abstract

The discomfort of internal gastrointestinal examination may soon be a thing of the past. We have developed a new type of endoscopy, which for the first time allows painless endoscopic imaging of the whole of the small bowel. This procedure involves a wireless capsule endoscope and we describe here its successful testing in humans.
