Imaging of the gastrointestinal tract is very useful for research and clinical studies that help in visualising anatomy and pathology. Advances in non-invasive modalities have revolutionised the way in which the gastrointestinal tract is studied. The resolution of imaging data is constantly being improved and 3D acquisition, tools for filtering, enhancement, segmentation and tissue classification are continually being developed.
This current article highlights the capabilities of the current and emerging techniques to explore gastrointestinal imaging. The anatomical visualisations and pathological examination of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are mandatory in the diagnosis of GI diseases. With the improvements in endoscopic examinations, latest being wireless capsule endoscopy, have radically changed the possibilities for direct visualisation and intervention in the gastrointestinal…
