title: Pondering the potential of quantitative analysis of video capsule endoscopy images in the management of children with celiac disease.
abstract: Celiac disease is common throughout the world, affecting approximately 1% of patients of all age groups. In this review, the role of video capsule endoscopy in characterizing the small intestinal lumen of pediatric patients with celiac disease is discussed in detail. Quantitative aspects of video capsule endoscopy which may be helpful in diagnosing pediatric patients are highlighted.
