In a video capsule examination, you swallow a small capsule that contains a miniature camera. This camera takes images of the digestive tract as the capsule travels through your body. This type of endoscopy is used to examine the small intestine.

An ultrasound is an examination of the abdominal cavity (liver, gallbladder, pancreas ...) using sound waves to look inside the body.

An ultrasound is an examination of the lower abdomen (female pelvis, bladder, rectum, uterus, ...) using sound waves to look inside the body.

An ultrasound is an examination using sound waves to look inside the body, such as inside the shoulder, arm, elbow, wrist, legs or ankles.
The purpose of the examination is to image the upper limbs and surrounding tissue. Inflammatory processes and calcifications can thus be detected.

A duplex ultrasound is an examination where ultrasound is used in combination with a color doppler. An ultrasound uses sound waves to look inside the body. A color doppler measures the flow rate of blood. A distinction is made between a venous duplex and an arterial duplex.

In a CT (computer tomography) scan, we form an image of the colon using X-rays. Through this examination, we have the opportunity to see the intestine from the inside, without the need to insert an endoscope (tube with a camera) into the colon. Scientific research has shown that for detecting abnormalities of the colon (polyps or colon cancer) this method is equally good.
