Clinical Performance of New Software to Automatically Detect Angioectasias in S...
Costa,Dalila; Vieira,Pedro; Pinto,Catarina; Arroja,Bruno; Leal,Tiago; Mendes,Sofia; Gonçalves,Raquel; Lima,Carlos; Rolanda,CarlaAbstract: Background: Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) revolutionized the diagnosis and management of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, though the rate of detection of small bowel lesions by the physician is still disappointing.

In Western countries ...
