Tethered capsule endomicroscopy for unsedated microscopic imaging of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum in humans (with video)

Patients with many different digestive diseases undergo repeated esophagogastroduodenoscopy throughout their life. Tethered capsule endomicroscopy (TCE) is a less invasive method for obtaining high-resolution images of the gastrointestinal mucosa for diagnosis and treatment planning of diseases. In this paper, we present our results from a single center, aimed at testing the safety and the feasibility of TCE for imaging the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.
