Postgraduate Certificate in Endoscopic Capsule 

The capsule endoscope is a small capsule-shaped device that is easily swallowed and used for the diagnosis and evaluation of diseases in the intestinal tract. The capsule endoscope is equipped with a small video camera, a light source and electromagnetic signal transmitters that allow the capture of detailed images of the small intestine.

The capsule is about the size of a pill and is swallowed with water, just like any other medication. The capsule moves through the intestinal tract, transmitting video images to an external recorder worn on a belt. The images obtained as the capsule moves through the small intestine are analyzed by a gastroenterologist to determine the presence of disease with high diagnostic accuracy.

Capsule endoscopy is often used for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases such as Crohn's disease, celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome and nutrient malabsorption. It can also be useful in the detection of tumors and lesions in the small intestine.

Capsule endoscopy is a noninvasive alternative to other endoscopic procedures, such as colonoscopy and small bowel obstructive endoscopy. Although safe and effective, capsule endoscopy may not be suitable for all patients and it is important to discuss the risks and benefits of this procedure with your treating physician.

Upon completion of the Postgraduate Certificate, students will be able to understand the principles and technique of capsule endoscopy, proper patient preparation and management, identification and evaluation of gastrointestinal diseases and their treatment using capsule endoscopy. This will enable them to work in hospitals and health care facilities that use capsule endoscopy as part of their diagnostic and treatment protocol.
