WCE is a noninvasive diagnostic technique that visualizes the entire small intestine and identifies lesions in parts of the small bowel not reached by traditional endoscopy. Although further studies are needed to define the exact role of WCE for diagnosing and managing small bowel tumors, its sensitivity has been shown to be superior to PE and small bowel follow-through in regard to diagnosing patients who have obscure GI bleeding, the most common indication for capsule endoscopy in the authors' series of patients with documented small bowel tumors. As more material is published, capsule endoscopy likely will be confirmed to be the diagnostic procedure of choice in patients with suspected small bowel tumors.
无线胶囊内镜检查（WCE）是一种非侵入性诊断技术，可对整个小肠进行可视化检查，并识别传统内镜无法到达的小肠部位的病变。尽管需要进一步研究来确定WCE在诊断和管理小肠肿瘤方面的确切作用，但在诊断不明原因消化道出血的患者时，其敏感性已被证明优于小肠钡剂灌肠造影（PE）和小肠造影，这是作者系列有记录的小肠肿瘤患者中胶囊内镜检查最常见的适应证。随着更多资料的发表，胶囊内镜检查可能会被确认为疑似小肠肿瘤患者的首选诊断方法。
