SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August marks a significant 10-year anniversary for patients with digestive problems. Just one decade ago, in August 2001, the FDA approved use of capsule endoscopy technology to examine the last frontier of the human GI tract — the small bowel. Mayo Clinic in Arizona was among the first medical centers in the U.S. to perform exams of the small bowel using the pioneering “pill camera” technology that can scan the far corners of the GI tract — painlessly and without surgery.
