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.
