Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy between video capsule endoscopy and CT enterography in diagnosis of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.

Conditions

  • Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Interventions

PROCEDURE

CT enterography

CT enterography is performed using 64-channel multi-detector row CT scanners (Siemens Sensation 64, Siemens Medical solution, Forchiem, Germany). Prior to the scan, 1500 cc of a neutral oral-enteric contrast material, polyethylene glycol (NIFLEC) is taken by the patient. During the scan, 2cc/kg of intravenous contrast (iohexol, Ominipaque Amersham GE-Health care, Princeton, NJ) is injected at the velocity 5 cc/sec.

DEVICE

video capsule endoscopy

Video capsule endoscopy is performed using PillCam SB (Given Imaging, Yokneam, Israel). Polyethylene glycol (NIFLEC) is used for bowel preparation.
