The duodenal papilla as quality criterion of small bowel capsule endoscopy. SV1– A newly developed small bowel capsule endoscope with 360° view

Introduction: Capsule endoscopy has evolved to become a first-line, noninvasive diagnostic technique for the small bowel. However, the inability to visualize the duodenal papilla is an inherent limitation of this method. We evaluated the diagnostic yield and completeness of the small bowel examination with a newly developed video capsule (SV1, Capsovision, Saratoga, CA) with panoramic 360° imaging. Methods: SV1 is a small bowel video endoscope measuring 11×31mm capturing colour high-resolution images at 4 frames per second in a 360-degree-panorama-view for the first 2 hours and 3fps for the rest of time.
