Definition functional or nonulcer dyspepsia pain is a term used to describe signs and symptoms of indigestion that have no obvious cause. Helicobacter pylori infection, gastritis, pathology and age are the cause and signs of nonulcer indigestion (Torchio et al., 1989). A successful method has been introduced for analysis and classification of symptoms of indigestion for 348 patients with nonulcer indigestion. (Lai et al., 1996). Capsule endoscopy or Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) is a technology developed in medicine that uses a tiny wireless camera to take pictures of the digestive tract, especially the small intestine. WCE as a complete computer-aided diagnostic system showed promising results with a classification accuracy of 91%. This method reduces data retrieval time, and also serves as a tool to help and train inexperienced physicians. (Charisis et al., 2013).
