Enteroscopy is the procedure of using an endoscope for the direct visualization of the small bowel. Etymologically , the word could potentially refer to any bowel endoscopy ( entero- + -scopy ), but idiomatically it is conventionally restricted to small bowel endoscopy, in distinction from colonoscopy , which is large bowel endoscopy.
Double-balloon enteroscopy, also known as push-and-pull enteroscopy, is an endoscopic technique for visualization of the small bowel. It was developed by Hironori Yamamoto in 2001. [ 1 ] It is novel in the field of diagnostic gastroenterology as it is the first endoscopic technique that allows for the entire gastrointestinal tract to be ...
CTE provides enough distention of the bowel not present during normal CT imaging to increase the ability to examine in lumen and internal lining of the small intestines. [4] When the small bowel is not properly distended it can be difficult to see if there is a problem in that area. [ 5 ]

Capsule endoscopy is a medical procedure used to record internal images of the gastrointestinal tract for use in disease diagnosis. Newer developments are also able to take biopsies and release medication at specific locations of the entire gastrointestinal tract. [ 1 ]
Radiographs (X-ray pictures) are taken while barium sulfate, a radiocontrast agent, fills the colon via an enema through the rectum. The term barium enema usually refers to a lower gastrointestinal series, although enteroclysis (an upper gastrointestinal series) is often called a small bowel barium enema.

Anderson is then shown to a bare exam room, where she anxiously takes a seat on a small gray couch near a window. McCoy soon enters and swivels his chair over to her.
The need for imaging assessment of small bowel diseases comes from the limits of traditional endoscopy in evaluating ileum loops, as other modern techniques such as capsule endoscopy are not routinely performed as it is seldom available in most centers. Over the past several years assessment of small bowel diseases was performed by Barium ...
