Capsule endoscopy is a new technique which has meant a real change in clinical medicine regarding diagnosis and therapy applied to many illnesses in the digestive tract. Nowadays, thanks to the different prototypes available, capsule endoscopy can be used to study esophageal, intestinal and colonic pathologies, being mainly recommended for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. The aim of Capsule Endoscopy Atlas, directed by Professors Herrerías and Mascarenhas, in which the inventors of the technique have also taken part together with some other worldwide re-known experts, is to spread the current step-forwards in this new form of endoscopy.
胶囊内镜是一项新技术，它在应用于消化道多种疾病的诊断和治疗方面给临床医学带来了切实的变革。如今，得益于现有的不同原型产品，胶囊内镜可用于研究食管、肠道和结肠病变，主要推荐用于不明原因的消化道出血。由埃雷里亚斯教授和马斯卡雷尼亚斯教授执导的《胶囊内镜图谱》，该技术的发明者以及其他一些全球知名专家也参与其中，其目的是传播这种新型内镜检查的当前进展。
