Capsule Retention Following Capsule Endoscopy

Global Radiology CME

Approximately 2% of all capsule endoscopies result in CR [ 2 ] The clinical indication for capsule endoscopy is correlated with different rates of CR. Computed tomography (CT) could be used to determine the capsuleā€™s location if it is difficult to do so via x-ray. 2015.3820/2015 9. Rev Esp Enferm Dig. doi: 10.17235/reed.2015.3820/2015
