Reading a PillCam® COLON 2 Study in RAPID® for PillCam Software

Step 1: Preview

Objective:

Identify and mark entrance to cecum and body exit while

obtaining a quick overview of the video.

Method:

1. Set QuickView mode.

2. Set double-head viewing (green & yellow), and read at the

fastest speed you feel comfortable.

3. Identify cecum and then continue viewing at a fast speed

to the end of the video and mark the last rectal image.

Step 2: Review

Objective:

Review video and capture suspected findings (cruise and

capture).

Method:

1. Set standard view mode.

2. Set single-head viewing, green capsule head, and read at a

comfortable speed (8 fps is a good starting choice).

3. Read from cecum to end of the video with green capsule

head.

4. Reduce reading speed or scroll manually frame-by-frame

when viewing complex anatomy and when capsule is moving

fast, on the lookout for single-frame findings.

5. When end of the video is reached, return to cecum.

6. Set to yellow capsule head and again read from cecum to

end.

Tips:

•

•

If the study includes findings, mark the hepatic and splenic

flexures found during reading.

Do not analyze findings at this step.

Step 3: Analysis and Report

Objective:

Analyze captured findings and complete study report.

Method:

1. Select Report tab.

2. Click on the thumbnail of suspected findings and scroll backand-forth to view suspected findings from multiple angles and

perspectives.

3. When using the polyp size estimation tool, locate the image of

the polyp that shows the maximum polyp surface area.

Tips:

•

When possible, do not conclude findings based on a single

image; use scrolling to view multiple images.

•

Use blood vessels and vascular pattern in decision-making.

•

Beware of folds mimicking polyps.

•

Pay special attention to the cecum as the illeocecal valve can

look like a polyp.
