4. How is it done?
The capsule which is less than an inch long has to be swallowed
A technician attaches sensors to your chest and connects them to a
data recorder that you wear on a belt around your waist.
The capsule contains a tiny video camera. As the capsule travels
through your gastrointestinal tract, the camera takes pictures and
sends them to the data recorder.
After 8 hours, the technician removes the data recorder and looks at
the pictures.
The capsule passes out of your body in the stool in a day or two.

5. Advantages
The capsule allows doctors to see the entire small
intestine, which can’t be done with traditional
endoscopy. The capsule’s technology also provides
more detailed images and tissue coverage.

 It provides more detailed images and tissue coverage
 It is painless, so you do not need to take pain medicine.
 There is no sedation
 You have to fast for 12 hours before swallowing the capsule, but it does not require other
preparation.
