PillCam Capsule Endoscopy
140 Using RAPID to View a Video
The right side graph represents an estimate of the redundancy or similarity of the images captured by the
capsule as it moves through the small bowel (and may indicate where the capsule moved slowly through the
bowel).
You can move the video display to a certain location by clicking that location on the Progress Indicator.
Hovering the mouse anywhere on the Progress Indicator loads an image from that location in a pop up
window. The top of the window shows the progress of the SB reviewed in percentage.
Colon Location Diagram
The Colon Location Diagram, a three-sided localization diagram, represents the three colon sections:
ascending (or right) colon (on the left side), transverse colon (on the upper side), and descending (or left)
colon (on the right side). This feature is available for PillCam COLON videos of procedures performed
with a sensor array as well as a sensor belt in addition to the localization track. It displays the colon
segment containing the displayed image is by highlighting the corresponding section in the diagram.
The Colon Location Diagram becomes active after you landmark the first cecal image. Once you have
landmarked the Hepatic and Splenic Flexures, either independently by identifying these landmarks or by
accepting the suggested landmarks in RAPID if the procedure was performed with a sensor array, the
section containing the currently displayed images lights up on the Colon Location Diagram.

Note
Colon Location Diagram function is only an aid for the physician, and the
accuracy is dependent on the physician’s ability to identify the four
anatomical images that separate the right, transverse, and left colons.
