New Studies Presented at Digestive Disease Week Highlight the Value of PillCam(R) Capsule Endoscopy

More Than 68 PillCam(R) SB and PillCam(R) ESO Studies Presented; Company to Host Conference Call on May 7 at 1:00pm ET to Review DDW Abstract Highlights

Given Imaging Ltd. today announced that new studies confirmed the value of using PillCam(R) SB more frequently and earlier in the diagnostic algorithm in a range of disease states, including anemia, confirmed or clinically suspected Crohn’s disease, upper gastrointestinal bleeding and occult or obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB).

The studies concluded that PillCam SB is able to accelerate the time to diagnosing these conditions and often can obviate the need for additional diagnostic tests. Additional studies showed the value of PillCam(R) ESO as an emergency room tool to expedite triaging of patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) or non-cardiac chest pain. More than 68 studies were presented on PIllCam SB and PillCam ESO at the Digestive Disease Week(R) (DDW) 2010 conference concluding today in New Orleans.
