A Study for Imaging the Lower Gastrointestinal Tract Using a Retro-TCE Capsule
Pilot Study for Imaging the Lower Gastrointestinal Tract Using a Retro-TCE Capsule
Massachusetts General Hospital
30 participants
Mar 27, 2023
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The investigators have developed an inexpensive tool to take pictures in the lower GI tract without sedation and to look for signs of disease. The tool is a capsule, about the size of a fish oil or multi-vitamin supplement, attached to a string. The capsule and string are connected to a motor to allow the capsule to advance up the participant's lower GI tract. The capsule will be inserted into the participant's lower GI tract and advance upward via a slow spiral motion. The capsule is connected to an imaging system that saves and displays the images in real time.
