Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to invite you to contribute to an upcoming Special Issue titled "Clinical Impacts and Challenges in Capsule Endoscopy".
This Special Issue explores the evolving landscape of capsule endoscopy (CE) technology.
Since its inception, CE has significantly expanded the horizons of diagnostic endoscopy, particularly in small bowel evaluation. It has enabled the non-invasive exploration of the gastrointestinal tract, transforming our approach to diagnosing a range of conditions, from obscure GI bleeding to Crohn’s disease.
However, along with this progress come new hurdles—technical limitations, interpretative complexity, and real-world integration into everyday clinical practice remain pressing issues.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for clinicians, scientists and researchers to do the following:
- Critically assess the clinical impact of capsule endoscopy on patient management and outcomes;
- Share insights into technological advances that are pushing the boundaries of what capsule endoscopy can achieve;
- Discuss limitations and persistent diagnostic blind spots, as well as ways to overcome them
- Explore the current challenges faced in image interpretation and the practicalities of large-scale implementation in clinical workflows.
We welcome original research, insightful reviews, case reports, and expert perspectives that shed light on these aspects.
Your expertise could provide key contributions to the ongoing dialogue on how to refine and optimize this invaluable diagnostic tool further.
I encourage you to consider submitting your work and helping us shape the future of capsule endoscopy, an area that continues to challenge and inspire us all.
Prof. Dr. Anastasios Koulaouzidis
