Understanding Capsule Endoscopy

ASGE Logo

What is Capsule Endoscopy?

Capsule endoscopy is a test that uses a pill-sized camera that you swallow in order to examine the inside of the small intestine. The small intestine is the middle portion of your gastrointestinal tract, located between your stomach and your large intestine (colon). The small intestine is made up of three parts:  the duodenum, jejunum and ileum.
