Evaluation of primary intestinal lymphangiectasia by capsule endoscopy.
Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia is a rare disease of the intestinal lymphatics, presenting with protein-losing enteropathy, hypoproteinemia, bilateral lower limb edema, and ascites [1–4]. Here we report capsule endoscopic findings in a patient with primary intestinal lymphangiectasia. A 51-year-old woman was admitted due to swelling of her legs and abdomen, and shortness of breath for nearl...
متن کاملMagnifying image-enhanced endoscopy for collagenous colitis
Background and study aims We report a case series of 5 patients with collagenous colitis (CC) presenting with chronic watery diarrhea, who were subjected to magnifying, chromoendoscopy and narrow band imaging (NBI). Magnifying chromoendoscopy revealed whitish-clouded, honeycomb-like appearance at orifices of the crypts. NBI with high magnification revealed irregular caliber variation of the su...

متن کاملDiagnostic System for Intestinal Motility Disfunctions Using Video Capsule Endoscopy
Wireless Video Capsule Endoscopy is a clinical technique consisting of the analysis of images from the intestine which are provided by an ingestible device with a camera attached to it. In this paper we propose an automatic system to diagnose severe intestinal motility disfunctions using the video endoscopy data. The system is based on the application of computer vision techniques within a mach...
متن کاملComparison of Different Super-Resolution Methods for HD Video Endoscopy
The main question we try to answer in this work is whether it is feasible to employ super-resolution (SR) algorithms to increase the spatial resolution of endoscopic high-definition (HD) images in order to reveal new details which may have got lost due to the limited endoscope magnification of the HD endoscope used (e.g. mucosal structures). For this purpose we compare the quality achieved of d...
