Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This prospective pilot study of 30 pediatric subjects, that are indicated for standard colonoscopy due to follow-up of ulcerative colitis (UC), examines the Given Diagnostic System and the PillCam Colon Capsule in comparison to standard colonoscopy.

This study aims

1. To evaluate and compare the accuracy of PillCam ™ Colon capsule endoscopy (PCCE) with standard colonoscopy in the evaluation of colon in pediatric ulcerative colitis.
2. To evaluate the safety of PillCam ™ Colon capsule endoscopy (PCCE) in pediatric age.
