Self-driven endoscope capsule a success
|
|
A research team has successfully captured images inside a human stomach and colon using a self-propelled, remote-controlled capsule endoscope. About 1 cm in diameter and 4.5 cm long, the device has a driving gear reminiscent of a tail fin that allows for precise control of its direction and location, which aids correct diagnosis of cancers, the team, which includes researchers from Ryukoku University and Osaka Medical College, said June 21.
