Guided capsule endoscopy could pave the way for the future of endoscopic examination of the stomach, according to the findings of a feasibility study by Jean-Francois Rey and colleagues.

In spite of other medical diagnosis technologies, such as magnetic resonance imaging, endoscopy is still widely ... It consists of a capsule just 26-mm long and 11 mm in diameter that features ...

Just over two centimeters in diameter and made out of resin material using a 3D printer, the oloid magnetic endoscope (OME) has been tested on surfaces mimicking the human intestine, food pipe ...

[5] In these cases, the capsule can be introduced into the stomach via conventional upper endoscopy. In patients with swallowing disorders, and especially the elderly, they may cough and expel the ...

They equipped it with a small, high-frequency imaging device to capture detailed 3D images of internal tissues. Oloid-shaped magnetic endoscope. (Image: STORM Lab, University of Leeds) This technology ...

A paper, published in Science Robotics, explains how the team integrated the oloid shape, and its unique rolling motion, into a new magnetic flexible endoscope (MFE). They equipped it with a small ...

Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is being increasingly used to investigate small bowel pathology. It is the gold standard for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding and iron deficiency anemia. VCE has ...
