Introducing ALICAM
Once swallowed, ALICAM captures high-resolution, 360-degree images of the entire gastrointestinal tract and identifies GI disease quickly and accurately. ALICAM allows dogs to be imaged at home or in the clinic. There is no need for sedation or anesthesia and dogs can remain fully active during a study. A board certified internist reviews every examination and provides a detailed report with treatment recommendations. The information obtained may suggest a biopsy is needed or that a specific medical regimen is warranted. In either case, the study gives your client peace of mind and provides you the information to take the guesswork out of GI disease.
What ALICAM detects
ALICAM is intended for intraluminal visualization of the gastrointestinal tract. It may be used as a tool in the detection of abnormalities of the GI system. It is able to detect mucosal abnormalities associated with ulcers and erosive gastritis, colitis, parasitic disease, GI lymphoma, colon cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, gastric cancer, and lymphangectasia. It also allows calculation of GI transit time and can aid in the diagnosis of motility disorders.
