Intelligent Wireless Capsule Endoscopy for the Diagnosis of Gastrointestinal Diseases

Through a wireless capsule endoscope (WCE) fitted with a miniature camera (about an inch), this study aims to examine the role of wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) in the diagnosis, monitoring, and evaluation of GI (gastrointestinal) disorders. In a wearable belt recorder, a capsule travels through the digestive tract and takes pictures. It attempts to find tiny components that can be used to enhance the WCE. To accomplish this, we followed the steps below: Researching current capsule endoscopy through databases, designing and simulating the device using computers, implanting the system and finding tiny components compatible with capsule size, testing the system and eliminating noise and other problems, and analyzing the results. In the present study, it was shown that a spherical WCE shaper and a smaller WCE with a size of 13.5 diameter, a high resolution, and a high frame rate (8-32 fps) could help patients with pains due to the traditional capsules and provide more accurate pictures as well as prolong the battery life. In addition, the capsule can also be used to reconstruct 3D images. Simulation experiments showed that spherical endoscopic devices are more advantageous than commercial capsule-shaped endoscopic devices for wireless applications. We found that the sphere's velocity through the fluid was greater than the capsule's.

Automated summary

This study explores the use of wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) in diagnosing, monitoring, and evaluating gastrointestinal disorders. It utilizes a miniature camera fitted in a wireless capsule that travels through the digestive tract to capture images. Research, design, simulation, testing, and analysis were conducted to enhance the WCE. The findings indicate that a spherical WCE shape and smaller size, high resolution, and frame rate can provide more accurate pictures, prolong battery life, and even reconstruct 3D images, making it more advantageous than commercial capsule-shaped endoscopic devices for wireless applications.
