It is a single center, prospective and self-controlled trial. We'd like to explore a new method by changing position to reduce gastric missing areas in Capsule Endoscopy(CE)

Detailed description

Background:Capsule endoscopy is widely used to observe small intestine.While it may miss important areas in stomach，especially in fundus.So far,physicians have no methods to observe stomach without no-missing areas by capsule endoscopy. Objective:To explore a new method to reduce the areas missed by CE. Methods:Subjects were prospectively enrolled.Every subjects will undergo 2 capsule endoscopies and 1 gastroscope.First capsule endoscopy,every subject have a better gastric preparation before swallowing CE and change position during the procedure.Second capsule endoscopy,every subject have a conventional CE. And then, every subject have a gastroscope. Measurements:The primary measurements included safety, gastric preparation, visualization of gastric mucosa and rate of lesion detection.
