in capsule endoscopy (CE), small bowel subepithelial lesions (SBSL) are difficult to distinguish from innocent mucosal protrusions. The SPICE score (smooth, protruding lesions index on CE) and a score that assesses the SBSL protrusion angle were developed. The aim of the study was to determine if a composite score is superior to the proposed models.
