Capsule endoscopy is one of the most advanced and effective tools for evaluating the small intestine. At Jack Husney, MD, this non-invasive test helps identify the cause of unexplained digestive symptoms with precision. Patients simply swallow a capsule containing a tiny camera that captures thousands of high-resolution images as it travels through the digestive tract. No sedation, no tubes, and no downtime—making it one of the safest and most comfortable ways to diagnose gastrointestinal conditions.
What Capsule Endoscopy Can Reveal
Capsule endoscopy provides detailed views of the entire small intestine, allowing Dr. Husney to identify issues that traditional endoscopy and colonoscopy may miss. It is especially effective for detecting:
• Gastrointestinal bleeding
• Iron-deficiency anemia
• Crohn’s disease (early or advanced)
• Small-bowel inflammation and ulcers
• Tumors, polyps, or abnormal growths
• Celiac disease–related changes
• Vascular lesions (AVMs)
• Causes of chronic abdominal pain or diarrhea
This deeper visibility helps many patients finally get answers after months or years of symptoms.
Why Capsule Endoscopy Is Beneficial
The procedure is painless and requires no anesthesia. Because the capsule moves naturally through the digestive system, it captures images that would otherwise be impossible to obtain. Patients can return to normal activities during the study, and the capsule passes naturally within 1–3 days. Capsule endoscopy offers earlier detection, more accurate diagnosis, and a more comfortable experience than many traditional tests.
How the Procedure Works
Most patients simply fast overnight. At your visit, you swallow the capsule and wear a small data recorder. The capsule takes thousands of pictures as it travels through the small intestine. Once the recorder is returned, Dr. Jack Husneycarefully reviews the images using advanced software to identify bleeding, inflammation, ulcers, or other abnormalities.
