Wireless capsule endoscopes provide a painless and non-invasive alternative to the flexible endoscope in various applications of the gastrointestinal tract diagnosis. Operating a wireless capsule endoscope in the colon may benefit from an active posi...
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...
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...
