The Center for Small Bowel Disease has all the latest technology to treat your condition, whatever it may be. Here are some visible diseases of the small intestine that we treat:
There are many ways to evaluate the small intestine, but in order to identify and solve the problem, we have to see it. That’s why we’ve teamed up with our experts in Radiology to develop and implement the latest advancements in our methods of imaging. The diagnostic technologies that we use include:
Small Bowel Enteroclysis: Fluroroscopic evaluation of the small bowel after infusion of radiocontrast through NJ tube
CT/MR Enterography: Refinement in multidetector row CT and MR. Enables rapid acquisition of high resolution images.
Video Capsule Endoscopy: 1cm by 2cm pill-camera, takes 55,000 images over the course of approximately 8 hours.
Because treatment plans depend on image results, our team works together to evaluate your best options.
Getting to the small intestine endoscopically is very difficult, which is why the Center for Small Bowel Disease has made strides over the past few years in perfecting our techniques. The Video Capsule Endoscopy is a leading advancement in the Center for Small Bowel Diseases. It is the least invasive and most effective way to examine areas of the small intestine that cannot be seen by other types of imaging.
