Robot-assisted magnetic capsule endoscopy; navigating colorectal inclinations.

Minimally invasive therapy & allied technologies : MITAT : official journal of the Society for Minimally Invasive Therapy
To investigate the interaction of a robot assisted magnetically driven wireless capsule endoscope (WCE) with colonic tissue, as it traverses the colorectal bends in the dorsal and ventral directions, relying only on the feedback from a 3D accelerome...

Robotic Localization Based on Planar Cable Robot and Hall Sensor Array Applied to Magnetic Capsule Endoscope.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Recently an active locomotive capsule endoscope (CE) for diagnosis and treatment in the digestive system has been widely studied. However, real-time localization to achieve precise feedback control and record suspicious positioning in the intestine i...

A pilot trial of Convolution Neural Network for automatic retention-monitoring of capsule endoscopes in the stomach and duodenal bulb.

Scientific reports
The retention of a capsule endoscope (CE) in the stomach and the duodenal bulb during the examination is a troublesome problem, which can make the medical staff spend several hours observing whether the CE enters the descending segment of the duodenu...

Intelligent visual localization of wireless capsule endoscopes enhanced by color information.

Computers in biology and medicine
Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is performed with a miniature swallowable endoscope enabling the visualization of the whole gastrointestinal (GI) tract. One of the most challenging problems in WCE is the localization of the capsule endoscope (CE) wi...

Medical capsule robots: A renaissance for diagnostics, drug delivery and surgical treatment.

Journal of controlled release : official journal of the Controlled Release Society
The advancements in electronics and the progress in nanotechnology have resulted in path breaking development that will transform the way diagnosis and treatment are carried out currently. This development is Medical Capsule Robots, which has emerged...

Locomotion Analysis of an Inchworm-Like Capsule Robot in the Intestinal Tract.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
GOAL: Inchworm-like locomotion is one of the most common and effective approaches for exploring the intestinal tract. Here, we present a locomotion analysis for a typical inchworm-like capsule robot, which is composed of a locomotion unit and some fu...

Design of wormlike automated robotic endoscope: dynamic interaction between endoscopic balloon and surrounding tissues.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The current design of capsule endoscope is limited by the inability to control the motion within gastrointestinal tract. The rising incidence of gastrointestinal cancers urged improvement in the method of screening endoscopy.

A novel scheme for non-invasive drug delivery with a magnetically controlled drug delivering capsule endoscope.

Journal of controlled release : official journal of the Controlled Release Society
There is a lack of effective means for precise drug delivery of gastrointestinal diseases. Herein we report a novel magnetically controlled drug delivering capsule endoscope (MDCE) to achieve precision drug delivery for gastrointestinal diseases. MDC...

Swallowable, Remote- Controlled Robot Tours the Stomach, Transmits Live Video.

IEEE pulse
A pill-sized remote-operated vehicle that takes and transmits live video of the inside of a person's stomach could be on the market as early as 2026.

A Miniaturized Capsule Endoscope Equipped a Marking Module for Intestinal Tumor Localization.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This study introduces a miniaturized capsule endoscope equipped with a marking module for intestinal tumor or lesion localization. The design concept is based on an active wireless capsule endoscope platform that is manipulated by an external electro...
