4. INTRODUCTION TO PILL CAMERA PILLCAMERA INTERNAL VEIW PILLCAM PLATFORM COMPONENTS PILLCAM PROCEDURE ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES FUTURE SCOPE APPLICATIONS CONCLUSION

5.  IT IS A APPLICATION OF NANO TECHNOLOGY  IT IS SWALLOWABLE CAMERA  IT IS APPROVED BY EUROPEAN MEDICINE AGENCY  SIMPLE & SAFE  GOOD QUALITY IMAGES

6. Picture of a capsule Six LEDs & Camera Lens.

7. It has 8 parts.

8. 1. Pill Cam Capsule. 2. Sensor Array Belt. 3. Data Recorder. 4. Real Time Viewer. 5. Workstation and RAPID Software.

9. 1. Camera takes pictures after the removal of the capsule. 2. Transmit by means of RF to the Sensor Array. 3. Then to Data Recorder. 4. Real Time Viewer. 5. Recorded data are downloaded to the computer. 6. Use the RAPID software. 7.Excretes capsule within 24-48 hrs.

10. DATA RECORDER COMPUTER Movement Of Capsule Through The Digestive System Data Acquisition & Storage Of Data On Computer

11.  Painless, no side effects.  Accurate, precise (view of 150º).  High sensitivity & specificity.  Avoids risk in sedation and radiation.  Efficient than X-ray, CT-scan, normal endoscopy.

12.  Gastrointestinal obstructions prevent the free flow of capsule.  Patients with pacemakers, pregnant women face difficulties.  Not a replacement for colonoscopy.  Surgical removal for capsule obstruction.

13. Capsule with a laser. Zooming & Auto Focus. Telemetric capacities. SAYAKA-Battery free Endoscopic Capsule.

15.  Biggest impact in the medical industry.  Pillcam can detect Gastro esophageal reflux disease. Barrett’s esophagus. Small Bowel Tumors. Small Bowel injury.

16.  Endoscopy Capsule is the pioneering concept in the medical technology.  Great help to the Physicians.  Nanotechnology has the power to revolutionize the world of production.
