Video-capsule endoscopy has revolutionized the examination of small bowel mucosa. However, this modality is relatively young and its diagnostic yield is low. Herein, we discuss different approaches to improve examination's diagnostic yield. There are strong data supporting some of them while there is speculation about the rest. As capsule endoscopy continues to evolve there is also a strong belief that technology will overcome at least some of the obstacles that hamper capsule endoscopy's diagnostic yield sometime in the near future.
视频胶囊内镜检查彻底改变了小肠黏膜的检查方式。然而,这种检查方式相对较新,其诊断率较低。在此,我们讨论提高该检查诊断率的不同方法。有强有力的数据支持其中一些方法,而其余方法则存在推测。随着胶囊内镜检查不断发展,人们也坚信在不久的将来,技术至少会克服一些阻碍胶囊内镜检查诊断率的障碍。
