Texas Gastroenterologist Featured for Use of Capsule Endoscopy

Edward Artnak, MD, a gastroenterologist at Shannon Clinic in San Angelo, Texas, is featured in a report by the San Angelo Standard-Times for his use of capsule endoscopy.

The story focuses on use of the camera pill and discussion from Dr. Artnak about how the capsule has undergone recent significant improvement culminating with the release of a second-generation version of the device.

The capsule is primarily used to locate GI bleeding sources, and can also help help locate tumors, ulcers and signs of Crohn's and Celiac disease, according to the report.
