Capsule endoscopy in BHT CLINIC Istanbul Tema Hospital
About the clinic
Capsule endoscopy at BHT CLINIC Istanbul Tema Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, provides a detailed examination of the digestive tract. This diagnostic uses a swallowable camera pill to capture images of areas difficult to reach with traditional methods. The clinic holds JCI and Temos accreditations, confirming it meets international standards for medical safety and diagnostic accuracy.
Diagnostic Method and Technology
The procedure uses a small, pill-sized capsule equipped with a camera. Patients swallow the device, which travels naturally through the digestive system. It serves as a non-invasive alternative to traditional colonoscopy and gastroscopy procedures. The Gastroenterology Department also offers specialized capsule pH metry to monitor acidity levels in the esophagus.
Key Features of the Examination
- Digestive tract imaging. The camera pill records thousands of images as it moves from the esophagus to the colon.
- No sedation required. Because the process is non-invasive, patients do not need anesthesia or invasive scopes.
- Outpatient setting. The patient swallows the capsule and continues their daily activities while the device transmits data to a recorder.
- Specialized department. The Gastroenterology unit manages the process and interprets the captured visual data.
