| Core Tip |
In order to improve localisation, capsule endoscopy developers proposed the use of an applied external magnetic field. However, this affords only a rough estimate of capsule - hence lesion - localization. Therefore, a modified capsule design was proposed in 2010. It consists of a capsule fitted with protruding wheels attached to a spring-mechanism. This allows the wheels to retract or expand to fit the lumen, whilst the capsule passes through the intestine, acting as a miniature odometer. Using three-dimensional printing technology, we built a conceptual capsule prototype and miniature wheels; with the latter, we perform in vitro and ex vivo proof-of-concept experiments. |
