In this study of 100 consecutive cases, the authors demonstrated the diagnostic efficacy of capsule endoscopy in the evaluation of OGIB and the importance of an early examination.

This study demonstrates the diagnostic superiority of capsule endoscopy over other diagnostic modalities (barium follow-through and entero-computed tomography) in patients with suspected Crohn's.
