The third study also evaluates the potential of capsule endoscopy, and conducts a research to evaluate its safety in patients with implanted cardiac devices, who were being assessed for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, and determine whether implanted cardiac devices had any effect on the image capture by capsule endoscopy.

Thus, study concludes that capsule endoscopy was not associated with any adverse cardiac events, and implanted cardiac devices do not appear to interfere with video capsule imaging. To put it simply, the three researches conducted, emphasize that the use of capsule endoscopy is safe, has no side effects, effective, and is efficient in the careful diagnosis and treatment of the patients. Pill Camera Page 21 gastrointestinal tract by the image captured by the capsule endoscope.

This process does not only help to detect the severity of the existing gastrointestinal disease but also determine its effective to the presence of implanted cardiac devices. Minature size.

External wireless commands will by capsule miniaturization diagnosisofand digital therapy chip camera and will technology, increasingly especially entail the influence CMOS use of real-. Wireless capsule endoscopy represents a significant technical breakthrough for the investigation of the small bowel, especially in light of the shortcomings of other available techniques to image this region.

Capsule endoscopy has the potential for use in a wide range of patients with a variety of illnesses. At present, capsule endoscopy seems best suited to patients with gastrointestinal bleeding of unclear etiology who have had non-diagnostic traditional testing and whom the distal small bowel beyond reach of a push enetroscope needs to be visualised.

The ability of the capsule to detect small lesions that could cause recurrent bleeding eg. Although a wide variety of indications for capsule endoscopy are being investigated, other uses for the device should be considered experimental at this time and should be performed in the context of clinical trials.

Care must be taken in patient selection, and the images obtained must be interpreted approximately and not over read that is, not all abnormal findings encountered are the source of patients problem.

Still, in the proper context, capsule endoscopy can provide valuable information and assist in the management of patients with difficult to- diagnose small bowel disease.

Interpretation of the study takes approximately 1 hour. Individual frames and video clips of normal or pathologic findings can be saved and exported as electronic files for incorporation into procedure reports or patient records. The third study also evaluates the potential of capsule endoscopy, and conducts a research to evaluate its safety in patients with implanted cardiac devices, who were being assessed for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, and determine whether implanted cardiac devices had any effect on the image capture by capsule endoscopy.

To put it simply, the three researches conducted, emphasize that the use of capsule endoscopy is safe, has no side effects, effective, and is efficient in the careful diagnosis and treatment of the patients. All of the three research studies were able to effectively convey their message and aim, and give importance to the value and efficiency of using the capsule endoscope as a way of evaluating the existing gastrointestinal diseases of patients.

The researchers were done by letting the participants swallow the Capsule Endoscope for the physicians to examine and assess the conditions of their gastrointestinal tract by the image captured by the capsule endoscope.

This process does not only help to detect the severity of the existing gastrointestinal disease but also determine its effective to the presence of implanted cardiac devices. The researchers also emphasized that the use of the capsule endoscope is better than using the traditional endoscope, for the use of the traditional endoscope does not only damage the gastrointestinal tract of the patients but affects also the patients and the hospital staffs because of the pain stacking process. This will be attractive to patients especially for cancer or varices detection because capsule endoscopy is painless and is likely to have a higher take up rate compared to conventional colonoscopy and gastroscopy.

The image quality is not bad but needs to be improved if it is to become a realistic substitute for flexible upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy. An increase in the frame rate, angle of view, depth of field, image numbers, duration of the procedure and improvements in illumination seem likely. Colonic, esophageal and gastric capsules will improve in quality, eroding the supremacy of flexible endoscopy, and become embedded into screening programs.

Therapeutic capsules will emerge with brushing, cytology, and fluid aspiration; biopsy and drug delivery capabilities. Electro cautery may also become possible.

Diagnostic capsules will integrate physiological measurements with imaging and optical biopsy, and immunologic cancer recognition. External wireless commands will influence capsule diagnosis and therapy and will increasingly entail the use of real-time imaging.

However, it should be noted that speculations about the future of technology in any detail are almost always wrong. The development of the capsule endoscopy was made possible by miniaturization of digital chip camera technology, especially CMOS chip technology. The continued reduction in size, increases in pixel numbers and improvements in imaging with the two rival technologies-CCD and CMOS is likely to change the nature of endoscopy.

The current differences are becoming blurred and hybrids are emerging. The main pressure is to reduce the component size, which will release space that could be used for other capsule functions such as biopsy, coagulation or therapy. New engineering methods for constructing tiny moving parts, miniature actuators and even motors into capsule endoscopes are being developed.

Although semi-conductor lasers that are small enough to swallow are available, the nature of lasers which have typical inefficiencies of percent makes the idea of a remote laser in a capsule capable of stopping bleeding or cutting out tumours seems to be something of a pipe dream at present, because of power requirements. PILL CAMERA CVSE 20 The construction of an electrosurgical generator small enough to swallow and powered by small batteries is conceivable but currently difficult because of the limitations imposed by the internal resistance of the batteries.

It may be possible to store power in small capacitors for endosurgical use, and the size to capacity ratio of some capacitors has recently been reduced by the use of tantalum. Small motors are currently available to move components such as biopsy devices but need radio- controlled activators. One limitation to therapeutic capsule endoscopy is the low mass of the capsule endoscope 3. A force exerted on tissue for example by biopsy forceps may push the capsule away from the tissue.

Opening small biopsy forceps to grasp tissue and pull it free will require different solutions to those used at flexible endoscopy-the push force exerted during conventional biopsy is typically about g and the force to pull tissue free is about g.

Future diagnostic developments are likely to include capsule gastroscopy, attachment to the gut wall, ultrasound imaging, biopsy and cytology, propulsion methods and therapy including tissue coagulation. The reason because of doctors rely more on camera pill than other types of endoscope is because the former has the ability of taking pictures of small intestine which is not possible from the other types of tests. Capsule endoscopy has the potential for use in a wide range of patients with a variety of illnesses.

Clipping is a handy way to collect important slides you want to go back to later. It tests the proper functioning before procedures and confirms location of capsule. Image data from the data recorder is downloaded to a computer equipped with software called rapid application software. It helps to convert images in to a movie and allows the doctor to view the colour 3D images.

Once the patient has completed the endoscopy examination, the antenna array and image recording device are returned to the health care provider. The recording device is then attached to a specially modified computer work station, and the entire examination is downloaded in to the computer, where it becomes available to the physician as a digital video.

The workstation software Page 16 allows the viewer to watch the video at varying rates of speed, to view it in both forward and reverse directions, and to capture and label individual frames as well as brief video clips.

Images showing normal anatomy of pathologic findings can be closely examined in full colour. A recent addition to the software package is a feature that allows some degree of localization of the capsule within the abdomen and correlation to the video images.

Another new addition to the software package automatically highlights capsule images that correlate with the existence of suspected blood or red areas. No formal bowel preparation is required; however, surfactant e.

After a careful medical examination the patient is fitted with the antenna array and image recorder. The recording device and its battery pack are worn on a special belt that allows the patient to move freely.

A fully charged capsule is removed from its holder; once the indicator lights on the capsule and recorder show that data is being transmitted and received, the capsule is swallowed with a small amount of water. At this point, the patient is free to move about. Patients should avoid ingesting anything other than clear liquids for approximately two hours after capsule ingestion although medications can be taken with water.

Patients can eat food approximately 4 hours after they swallow the capsule without interfering with the examination. Seven to eight hours after ingestion. The examination can be considered complete, and the patient can return the antenna array and recording device to the physician. Download of the data in the recording device to the workstation takes approximately 2.

The normal pill camera is sized around 26 X 11 mm. The size of a pill camera generally remains slightly larger than the size of a normal capsule. The capsule is swallowed by the patient and it is propelled forward by the natural muscular waves of the digestive tract into the small intestine via the large intestine.

After that, the pill camera comes out in the stool. It takes two photos in a second while passing through the digestive tract. The images are transmitted by the capsule to a data recorder, that is worn by the patient on a belt around its waist. The patient can work as usual as the normal day after swallowing the pill camera.
