Non-Invasive Capsule Endoscopy in Brisbane

Detailed imaging of the small intestine without sedation or scopes.

What is Video Capsule Endoscopy?

Video capsule endoscopy involves swallowing a small, pill-sized camera that captures thousands of images as it travels through your digestive tract. It allows clear visualisation of the small bowel, which is difficult to access with traditional endoscopy.

When is it Recommended?

Capsule endoscopy may be used to investigate:

What to Expect

You’ll swallow the capsule at the clinic, and it will transmit images to a wearable recorder for around 8 hours. The capsule is disposable and exits naturally in your stool. You can continue most daily activities during the test.

Preparation & Aftercare

Fasting is required before the procedure. After ingesting the capsule, avoid strenuous activity or eating until advised. Once the recording is complete, the recorder is returned for analysis.

Risks & Complications

Capsule endoscopy is very safe. In rare cases, the capsule may get stuck in a narrowed area of the bowel.

Will I feel the capsule inside me?

No, the capsule is painless and moves naturally through your digestive system.

Can I resume work or daily activities?

Yes, most normal activities are fine during the test, unless advised otherwise.
