How can colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) be used for bowel cancer investigation? 🧪 Researchers across the UK have initiated, in some cases completed, pilots to trial CCE as an initial investigation to free up endoscopy capacity and improve patient experience for people at risk of bowel cancer. The pill-sized camera works by travelling down the gastrointestinal tract and capturing images of the bowel, which are transmitted to a receiver and then analysed by a clinician. So far, only one CCE device is licensed for use in the UK, but uptake is gradually increasing due to its many advantages. Further research in this area should address current challenges so that more people can benefit from this type of test. Find out more in the comments 👇 #BowelCancer #Science #CancerResearch
Thank you for the useful information! 👍🤝👏
These are fabulous devices, with the addition of AI image analysis to triage the many thousands of images is a vital part to making these devices efficient for clinicians to use.
This reminds me of the Magic School Bus picture books us 90's kids grew up with!
This is so innovative.
Great innovation! So investigation becomes more friendly and diagnostic more accurate!
Great innovation
