Introduction
What Is a Pill Camera?
A camera pill is a minute camera in the shape of a pill that
can be easily swallowed by a person.
A larger more expensive, but unterthered pill cam was
developed by an Israel company in 2000 and received FDA
approval in September 2007.
It is an imaging device for the detection of gastrointestinal
diseases and has been hailed as a major break through in
medical technology.
The medical term is called Capsule Endoscopy.
Once swallowed, the camera transmits photos to a receiver to
later be reviewed by a doctor.

Imagine a vitamin pill-sized
camera that could travel through
your body taking pictures,
helping diagnose a problem which
doctor previously would have
found only through surgery.

The device, called the given Diagnostic Imaging System, comes in
capsule form and contains a camera, lights, transmitter and
batteries. The capsule has a clear end that allows the camera to
view the lining of the small intestine. Capsule endoscopy consists
of a disposable video camera encapsulated into a pill like form that
is swallowed with water.

About Camera
About Camera
The camera is only 18mm long and 6.35mm in diameter.
The pill cam, is used to avoid traditional standard endoscopy.
Endoscopy is a diagnostic medical procedure that is used to
access the interior surface of an organ by inserting a long tube
into the body.
It is mainly used to detect esophagul cancer and other
diseases related to stomach.
Endoscopy is a painful procedure and patient requires
sedation.
Using pill cam physicians can detect the disease without any
painful procedure like endoscopy.

How To Use
How To Use A Camera Pill?
When a person is going to take the pill camera test ,he has to
fast 10 hours before going to the doctor early in the morning.
At the moment, the doctor activates the camera and gives it
to the patient who swallows it with a glass of water and, then
gives them a receiver to attach to their belt.
They are only allowed to drink water for 2-4 hours after they
take the pill.
Then return the wireless receiver to the doctor and the
camera is disposable from the body.

6 Battery
Battery used in the capsule is
button shaped and are two in
number as shown. The
batteries are arranged together
just behind the CMOS Image
Sensor.
Silver Oxide primary batteries
are used (Zinc/Alkaline
Electrolyte/Silver Oxide). Such
a battery has a even discharge
voltage, disposable and doesn’t
cause harm to the body.

Advantages
Advantages
A pill camera can be easily swallowed.
It provides doctors more detailed images and the entire
digestive track not visible by other techniques and records
870,000 images.
Harmless to the patient and easier than a endoscopy and it
include the avoidance of standard endoscopy .
The patient can continue their everyday life once he/she has
successfully swallowed the pill cam and no sedation is
necessary for Capsule Endoscopy.
doctors can steer the images of the internal body as they wish.
doctors can reexamine the images again and again.

Disadvantages
Disadvantages
Pill camera is very expensive.
Sometimes the camera could get stuck in the patients small
intestine but this usually means that there is something wrong
in the intestines and it requires surgery to remove the camera
and fix the problem.
doctors have no control over its path .It only allow a single
fly-by view.
it cannot be reused because it completes its voyage through
the digestive system.
Due to its small size, the camera can capture an image of only
about 70 percent of the digestive tract.

Future Innovations
Future Innovations
Scientists hope a future version of the camera pill will repair
gut problems as well as spot them!
The scientific community at the University of Washington is
currently developing a pill-sized camera which would travel
through the body looking for signs of disease.
The researchers are negotiating a contract to commercialize
the technology. They hope to not only take pictures, but also
deliver treatments through the device in future.
In future the next big challenge is to make this cheaply.
In the future it hope to not only take pictures, but also deliver
treatments through the device, and to apply it to other
diseases.

CONCLUSION
The Given Endoscopy capsule is a pioneering concept for Medical
Technology of the 21st century.
The endoscopy system is the first of its kind to be able to provide
non-invasive imaging of the entire small intestine.
It has revolutionized the field of diagnostic imaging to a great
extent and has proved to be of great help to physicians all over the
world.
