Abstract
After a brief introduction to the history of endoscopy we describe the different techniques which exist to perform endoscopic procedures (traditional endoscopy, wireless capsule endoscopy, virtual endoscopy, and confocal endomicroscopy). Then we review different medical applications and decision support systems targeted at endoscopy and summarize work in this field.
