PillCam Colon for endoscopy

The Pillcam Colon is a capsule endoscope which measures a mere 11mm x 31mm and comes with tiny cameras on both ends that are capable of capturing a quartet of images per second for up to 10 hours straight. Each individual camera features automatic lighting control and is more than able to capture over twice the coverage area and depth of field of the Pillcam in an effort to diagnose diseases within the small intenstine. The method of insertion is performed by swallowing the Pillcam with a glass of water. When the procedure is complete, the physician will then download the recorded data to a workstation and review the images captured in order to make a more conclusive diagnosis.
