Capsule Endoscopy and Small Bowel Enteroscopy : Have They Rendered the Radiologist Obsolete? - 09/05/19

Résumé |
Capsule endoscopy (CE) provides visualization of small bowel mucosa for evidence of inflammation. Given its ability to detect subtle mucosal changes, CE is recommended in the diagnostic work-up of small bowel Crohn disease (CD) and also in monitoring mucosal response to therapy in nonstricturing CD. Patency capsule and cross-sectional imaging can reduce risk of capsule retention in patients with suspected stenotic disease. CE is complementary to magnetic resonance enterography, which can provide extraintestinal information. Device-assisted enteroscopy has limited role in CD.
