| Core Tip |
Mucosal healing has been shown to reduce the need for surgery and hospitalisation in patients with Crohn’s disease. Currently, assessing small bowel and colonic mucosal healing requires separate imaging/endoscopic modalities. Recent data suggests that the PillCam Colon 2? (PCC2) is capable of assessing mucosal healing of the small intestine and colon in a single, non-invasive test. Our own prospective data corroborates these findings demonstrating good correlation between investigations. Larger studies assessing the viability of PCC2 as a pan-enteric investigation are warranted.
