Detailed description

Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE, Pill Cam Colon 2, (Given Imaging Ltd, Yoqneam, Israel and Given Imaging EMEA, Hamburg, Germany) provides direct visualization of the colon mucosa, enabling the investigator to diagnose colonic disease. CCE is a complementary means to flexible ileo-colonoscopy andt safety, quality assurance and quality control of CCE is not well understood. There are about 15 000 investigations performed worldwide until now, but systematic data on performance in a community based setting are lacking. This study aims to investigate safety, quality assurance and quality control of colon capsule endoscopy.
