Capsule endoscopy (CE) is a simple, safe, non-invasive, reliable technique, well accepted and tolerated by the patients, which allows complete exploration of the small intestine. The advent of CE in 2000 has dramatically changed the diagnosis and management of many diseases of the small intestine, such as obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn's disease, small bowel tumors, polyposis syndromes, etc. CE has become the gold standard for the diagnosis of most diseases of the small bowel. Lately this technique has also been used for esophageal and colonic diseases.
胶囊内镜检查（CE）是一种简单、安全、无创、可靠的技术，患者易于接受且耐受性良好，它能够对小肠进行全面探查。2000年胶囊内镜的出现极大地改变了许多小肠疾病的诊断和治疗方式，如不明原因的胃肠道出血、克罗恩病、小肠肿瘤、息肉病综合征等。胶囊内镜已成为大多数小肠疾病诊断的金标准。最近，这项技术也被用于食管和结肠疾病的诊断。
