PillCam COLON capsule endoscopy (CCE) (Given Imaging Ltd, Yoqneam, Israel) is one of the most recent diagnostic, endoscopic technologies designed to explore the colon. CCE is a noninvasive, patient-friendly technique that is able to explore the colon without requiring sedation and air insufflation. The first generation of CCE was released onto the market in 2006 and although it generated great enthusiasm, it showed suboptimal accuracy. Recently, a second-generation system (PillCam COLON 2) (CCE-2) has been developed to increase sensitivity for colorectal polyp detection. In this review, accuracy and safety data for CCE-2 are analyzed.

Introduction: The PillCam™ patency capsule is useful in preventing capsule endoscope retention; however, visual confirmation of patency capsule excretion is challenging for many patients.

Objective: We investigated the factors related to the patency capsule remaining in the colon after 33 h and the factors hindering the visual confirmation of its excretion.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 498 patients with intestinal patency who underwent patency capsule examination.

Article Synopsis
  • Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) allows for non-invasive detection of gastrointestinal diseases but struggles with obstacles like food debris, which impacts traditional machine learning models that rely heavily on color data.
  • This study introduces a new model combining convolutional neural networks (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks to analyze sequential image data, improving organ classification in challenging visual conditions.
  • The developed model showed impressive results, achieving over 95% accuracy for stomach, small intestine, and colon classification, with additional performance metrics indicating its efficacy even with imbalanced datasets.

Article Synopsis
  • Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) is used to detect colorectal lesions, and a study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the TOP 100 software for this purpose compared to traditional reading methods.
  • In the retrospective study involving 188 patients, TOP 100 demonstrated high sensitivity (92.5%) and good overall accuracy (87.2%) in identifying various colorectal lesions, particularly excelling in detecting non-polyp lesions with 100% accuracy.
  • The results suggest that TOP 100 is an effective tool for assisting clinicians in detecting colorectal lesions during CCE, indicating its potential to enhance diagnostic procedures in cases of incomplete colonoscopy.

Article Synopsis
  • - Capsule endoscopy (CE) is a key tool for assessing inflammation in Crohn's disease, traditionally evaluated using scores like Lewis score, CECDAI, and ELIAKIM, but recent AI advancements allow for automated frame selection in CE videos.
  • - In this proof-of-concept study involving 61 patients, researchers developed an AI-based scoring system that correlated well with traditional inflammation scores, showing strong statistical relationships between their automated score and established metrics.
  • - The findings suggest that the AI-generated score is a reliable and objective method for evaluating inflammation in Crohn's disease, laying the groundwork for further advancements in CE technology.
