title: [New methods for exploration of the small intestine].
abstract: For ten years, a lot of advances have been achieved for the morphological exploration of the small intestine as well as with CT and MR enterography than with wireless capsule endoscopy. These investigations have renewed the approaches of different diseases that can affect the small intestine: tumors, especially sub-mucosal tumors (CT enterography), iron-deficiency anemia (capsule endoscopy) and follow-up of patients with Crohn's disease of the small intestine (MR enterography). Balloon enteroscopy may then allow therapeutic approach when needed (treatment of bleeding angiodysplasia).
