“It’s superior to X-ray examination” said Dr. Alfred Cramer III, an internal medicine specialist. “I can see the entire esophagus, the stomach, and, depending on the length of the patient, about 15 to 20 centimeters of the small intestine.”
Cramer described the $6,000 pan-endoscope 9s being versatile. The tube (about the width of one’s little finger, and a meter long) is swallowed by the slightly sedated patient. The tip of the probe can be turned in various directions, giving Cramer a full view, as well as a clear picture. He is able to spot conditions which may not yet be detected by X-rays. Dr. Delmar Weaver, ear, nose and throat specialist, uses a bronchoscope, an adaptation of the same principle, for examining the trachea and lungs. Dr. Benjamin Allen, orthopedic surgeon, uses an arthroscope for examining joints.
