Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a method and system for navigating an endoscopy capsule in a patient, wherein the endoscopy capsule includes a camera, a first image of an object in the interior of the patient is obtained with the camera, in which a re-identifiable structural feature of the object is identified. Successive images of the interior of the patient are then automatically obtained with the camera, and the endoscopy capsule is controlled, for each image, so that the position of the structural feature remains unchanged in the individual images while the image scale is intentionally enlarged or reduced.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim as our invention: 1. A method to navigate an endoscopy capsule in a patient, comprising: with a magnetic field generated by an extracorporeal magnetic guidance system, magnetically guiding an endoscopy capsule, having a longitudinal axis and containing a single camera, intracorporeally in a patient in an environment in the patient that subjects said endoscopy capsule to movement, caused by said environment, that continually displaces said longitudinal axis; while said e…
