Jejunum
Normal jejunal mucosal folds. Unlike conventional endoscopy, the lumen is not distended during capsule studies, and the folds are seen in various states of contraction. The white mucosal lines may represent lymphatic channels. The shaggy appearance of folds, as seen in the center image, represents mucosal villi.
Normal mucosal vascular patterns.
