YOQNEAM, ISRAEL--(Marketwire - October 07, 2008) - Given Imaging (NASDAQ: GIVN) announced today the launch of VueSpan Diagnostic Services, a new service that facilitates the reading and interpretation of PillCam video capsule studies. VueSpan enables busy gastroenterologists to spend more time on patient care by facilitating access to an independent faculty of gastroenterologists with recognized experience in capsule endoscopy to read the video capsule studies they submit for interpretation. By facilitating clinicians' access to capsule study interpretations by experienced faculty, VueSpan can minimize the learning curve that sometimes occurs when initiating a capsule endoscopy program. PillCam capsule endoscopy is the standard of care for diagnosing small bowel tumors, occult gastrointestinal bleeding and suspected Crohn's disease.
