Core Tip	Videocapsule endoscopy images from celiac disease patients and controls were extracted from video clips and compared using image processing. The image processor consists of 24 automated measurements, or automata. The values of these automata were polled for yes or no vote, which depended on a predetermined threshold value set for each measurement. The polling process predicted whether the patient had celiac disease, based on majority vote from the 24 automata. Celiac patients with even subtle villous atrophy were distinguished from controls by this method. For 16 patients, the overall sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the method was 83.9%, 92.9%, and 88.1%, respectively.
