The study aimed to compare the effects of bowel preparation methods of a normal diet for 1 day, a low residue diet for 1 day, and laxative bowel cleaning on the image quality of magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy, and to assess the rate of completion of the examination, small intestine transit time, lesion detection, patient tolerance, and safety of the three regimens.

The examination is considered complete when the capsule reaches the cecum.
Time frame: 1 day (Upon completion of the examination)
Small intestine transit time
Time taken for the capsule to pass through the entire small intestine to reach the cecum.
Time frame: 1 day (Upon completion of the examination)
Lesion detection rate
Proportion of cases with lesions relevant to the indication for examination or capable of explaining the patient's complaints or symptoms to the total number of cases.
Time frame: 1 day (Upon completion of the examination)
Patient tolerance
Evaluated by completing a case report form based on the patient's personal feelings during the bowel preparation process.
