Remote-controlled capsule endoscope makes diagnose simpler

If you’ve undergone an endoscopy, then you definitely know the complications and time it requires. To make the process simpler, Olympus and Siemens have developed a new capsule endoscope, movement of which can be controlled by magnetic guidance. We’ve seen the iPill from Phillips and a capsule endoscope for observing small intestines from Olympus Medical Systems previously, but these unlike the new capsule endoscope prototype are controlled by the peristaltic motion of digestive tracts itself. Because the 11x13mm capsule endoscope can be controlled magnetic guidance system, there certainly could be lot more applicable uses of this device.
