INTRODUCTION
 Embedded system: -- It is a combination of computer hardware and software.
 Capsule camera: -- It is one of the embedded system with the size of a pill as the name suggests
 Main use: -- examining digestive tract.
NEED FOR THE CAPSULE CAMERA
 Visualize the small intestine.
 Wireless.
 Quality.
 Detect typical digestive diseases.
MOVEMENT OF CAPSULE IN THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
DATA RECORDER
SPECIFICATIONS
 Diameter of 10 mm and a Length of 20 mm.
 Bullet shape - This shape and its diameter are critical for mapping to small intestine.
 Uses Silver oxide button batteries - high energy density & disposable.
 Made up of biocompat ible material.
PARTS OF CAPSULE CAMERA
 OPTICAL DOME
 LENS HOLDER
 LENS
 ILLUMINATING LED
 CMOS IMAGE SENSOR
 BATTERY
 ASIC TRANSMITTER
 ANTENNAE
CAPSULE PASSING THROUGH THE INTESINES
REAL TIME APPLICATION
BENFITS
 Convenience and satisfaction.
 Does not require sedation.
 Speedy recovery and diagnosis.
 Comfort during procedure.
 Simple and safe.
LIMITATIONS
 A physician cannot stop the camera’s progress to change the angle or take a prolonged look when it nears suspicious areas.
 There is no air insufflation pumping in air to open up intestinal folds for examination.
ADVANTAGES
 Painless, no side affects or complications.
 Miniature size, so can move easily through the digestive system.
 Accurate, precise & low power consumption.
 Images taken are of very high quality which are sent almost instantaneously to the data recorder for storage.
 Made of bio compatible material, doesn’t cause any harm to the body.
DISADVANTAGES
 Gastrointestinal obstructions and swallowing disorders prevent free flow of capsule through the digestive system.
 Patients with pacemakers, pregnant women and all pediatrics have to be monitored continuously while taking the capsule.
 The M2A procedure is not a replacement for Colonoscopy.
 Very expensive.
 It is not reusuable.
FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS
 Equipping the capsule with aLASER.
 Adding additional features likeZooming & Auto Focus.
 Can be used in Restorative Surgery & Pharmacological Interve.
 Further reduction insize using Nano Technology.
Making it cost effective
CONCLUSION
The Given Endoscopy capsule is a pioneering concept for Medical Technology of the 21st century. The endoscopy system is the first of its kind to be able to provide non-invasive imaging of the entire small intestine. It has revolutionized the field of diagnostic imaging to a
great extent and has proved to be of great help to
physicians all over the world.
