Live Webcast: Pediatric Capsule Endoscopy

Join experts from the Komansky Center of NewYork-Presbyterian to learn about a pioneering method of making capsule endoscopy modality more pediatric-friendly. Learn about Dr. Sockolow's "Jellybean Test", live, 7:00 PM EDT (23:00 UTC) on OR-Live.com

Wireless capsule endoscopy represents an extraordinary technical innovation in diagnostic gastrointestinal endoscopy. Capsule endoscopy is highly useful to evaluate for inflammatory changes in patients suspected to have small bowel Crohn's disease in whom conventional imaging failed to confirm the diagnosis. It is now the method of first choice to assess for small bowel polyps or tumors, to find a source of blood loss in obscure intestinal bleeding, and for undiagnosed malabsorptive conditions such as intestinal lymphangiectasia.
