Evaluation of RAPID® 5 Access software for examination of capsule endoscopies and reading of the capsule by an endoscopy nurse

摘要

Background Since capsule endoscopy (CE) is time consuming, one possible cost-effective strategy could be the use of an expert endoscopic assistant and available software to select images. Aims were to examine the clinical utility of RAPID® 5 Access software and find the optimum setting mode for reading. We also evaluated whether a nurse could preview the CE video and detect significant lesions accurately.
