Advances in complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology have enabled the development of capsule endoscopy, a diagnostic technique that involves ingestion of a pill-sized camera that collects and relays still images of the tissues lining the gastrointestinal tract. Moglia and colleagues review the literature on the use of different capsule endoscopy devices for the inspection of the small bowel, esophagus and colon, and discuss the potential future applications and developments of this technology.
