Wireless capsule endoscopy (CE) has revolutionized gastrointestinal diagnostics, offering a non-invasive means to visualize and monitor the GI tract. This review traces the evolution of CE technology. Addressing the limitations of traditional white light (WL) CE, the paper explores non-WL technologies, integrating diverse sensing modalities and novel biomarkers to enhance diagnostic capabilities.

As the capsule is orally ingested, the potential risk of aspiration is undoubtedly a constant concern among clinicians. However, it is a rare occurrence and often reported as isolated cases.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFCapsule endoscopy (CE) is a valid alternative to conventional gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy tools. In CE, annotation tools are crucial in developing large and annotated medical image databases for training deep neural networks (DNN). We provide an overview of the described and in-use various annotation systems available, focusing on the annotation of adenomatous polyp pathology in the GI tract.
