Pill Camera

The pill camera is a revolutionary, FDA-approved non-invasive diagnostic tool for gastrointestinal imaging that captures high-resolution images as it travels through the digestive tract. It offers significant advantages over traditional endoscopic procedures, including increased patient comfort, accessibility to difficult areas, and reduced risk of complications. However, it has limitations such as the inability to perform biopsies and potential issues with image quality and capsule retention.

A wireless endoscopy breakthrough that eliminates traditional
invasive procedures.

FDA Approved
FDA-approved diagnostic tool enabling comprehensive internal
imaging.

The pill camera represents a significant advancement in medical


diagnostics.
Introduction to Pill Camera Technology
Ingestible Capsule Medical Imaging
A miniature camera enclosed in an ingestible capsule. Developed by medical imaging pioneers, first introduced
in 2001.
It captures high-resolution images of the digestive tract.
It's a continuously evolving diagnostic tool.
Literature Review
Historical Context
Endoscopic technologies over time.

Comparison
Compared with traditional methods.

Key Research
Milestones in capsule endoscopy.

Global Adoption
Clinical validation worldwide.
Problem Statement

Patient Comprehensi Small


Discomfort ve Exam Abnormalitie
s
Traditional procedures have limitations and cause patient discomfort.
There is a need for comprehensive gastrointestinal examination and
challenges in detecting small intestine abnormalities.
Existing Diagnostic Systems
Traditional Endoscopy 1
It has significant limitations.

2 Colonoscopy
It comes with risks, limiting patient compliance.

Current Imaging 3
Many imaging technologies exist.

4 Cost and Access


These serve as barriers.
Pill Camera: A Non-
Invasive Diagnostic Tool
This presentation explores the innovative pill camera system. It
offers a non-invasive approach to digestive tract diagnostics. We
will examine its function, benefits, limitations, and potential impact
on patient care.
How the Pill Camera Works
The pill camera contains a miniature camera. It is
designed to be swallowed like a regular capsule. As it
moves through the digestive system, it captures
images. These images are transmitted wirelessly. A
receiver worn by the patient collects this data.

The data is then downloaded. A doctor reviews the


images for diagnosis. The camera's battery lasts
approximately 8-12 hours.
Key Advantages of Pill
Camera Technology
Patient Comfort
Offers high comfort compared to traditional endoscopy.

Accessibility
Reaches areas difficult for standard endoscopes.

Reduced Risk
Lowers the risk of complications like perforation.

Sterilization-Free
Disposable capsule eliminates sterilization needs.
Potential Disadvantages to
Consider
No Biopsies
Cannot perform biopsies or interventions.

Limited Control
Offers limited control over camera movement.

Image Quality
Bowel preparation affects image quality.

Retention Risk
Risk of capsule retention in strictures.
Conclusion: The Future of GI Screening
Promising Alternative Useful Diagnosis Expanding Applications
Pill cameras are a promising tool. Effective for small bowel diseases. Growing use in colon and
esophagus.

Pill cameras enhance patient care and diagnostic accuracy. Ongoing research focuses on improving battery life and
maneuverability.
