Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers, unexplained...

Summary

Daily image guidance for basal cell carcinoma treatment revealed setup variations. Daily cone beam CT (CBCT) imaging highlighted bolus tilt and air gaps, potentially causing underdosing if shifts are uncorrected.

Area of Science:

Radiation Oncology
Medical Physics
Dermatologic Surgery

Background:

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) treatment requires precise radiation delivery.
