Magnetically Controlled Capsule Endoscopy (MCCE) Improves Distal Esophageal Mucosal And Circumferential Z-Line Visibility

Aims Magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCCE) provides the opportunity for the non-invasive endoscopic screening of the upper gastrointestinal tract before small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE). Our recent in-vitro study gave preliminary evidence for the optimal setting of the outer magnetic field of the Ankon MCCE system to enhance the visualization of the cardia. Therefore, we aimed to compare the in-vivo visibility of the distal esophagus and the Z-line by different capsule swallowing protocols.
