 The use of CE is traditionally restricted to the small bowel, although newer capsules to image the oesophagus and colon are currently in use. Previous capsules have failed to adequately image the stomach due to its large volume and rugal folds. Recently a magnetic capsule and handheld magnet has been developed Microcam Navi, Intromedic Ltd, Seoul, Korea to enable an element of manoeuvrability of the capsule. This is unnecessary in the small bowel where the capsule is propelled along its tubular structure by peristalsis, but in the capacious stomach this may allow the capsule to be steered to examine all areas of the stomach.
