Methods to assess, access and treat pathology within the gastrointestinal tract continue to evolve with video endoscopy replacing radiology as the gold standard. Whilst endoscope technology develops further with the advent of newer higher resolution chips, an array of adjuncts has been developed to enhance endoscopy in other ways; most notable is the use of magnets. Magnets are utilised in many areas, ranging from endoscopic training, lesion resection, aiding manoeuvrability of capsule endoscopes, to assisting in easy placement of tubes for nutritional feeding. Some of these are still at an experimental stage, whilst others are being increasingly incorporated in our everyday practice.
评估、检查和治疗胃肠道病变的方法不断发展，视频内窥镜检查已取代放射学成为金标准。随着更新的高分辨率芯片的出现，内窥镜技术进一步发展，同时还开发了一系列辅助设备以从其他方面增强内窥镜检查；最值得注意的是磁体的应用。磁体在许多领域都有应用，从内窥镜培训、病变切除、辅助胶囊内窥镜的机动性，到协助营养喂养管的轻松放置。其中一些仍处于实验阶段，而其他一些则越来越多地融入我们的日常实践中。
