Video Capsule Endoscopy Training (VCE)

Understanding the indications and practical aspects of video capsule endoscopy

Trainees learn how to use VCE procedures in daily practice: basic concepts, how to set up the system, use in diagnosing obscure bleeding and inflammatory small bowel diseases, how to create reports using Minimal Standard Terminology (MST), etc. Ultimately, the training aims to enhance the dissemination of VCE to improve patient care.
