Small bowel capsule endoscopy and treat-to-target in Crohn's disease: A systematic review

Figure 3 Potential usefulness of small bowel capsule endoscopy in a treat-to-target strategy for patients with Crohn’s disease. Small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) should help physician classify disease location and make a prognosis regarding future course of Crohn’s disease (CD) according to the presence of proximal small bowel lesions. SBCE should also be useful in the assessment of mucosal healing in patients with CD under treatment, and in the post-operative setting to detect post-operative recurrence in a timely manner.
