A system for polyp detection through capsule dynamics, including a capsule configured to be swallowed by a patient, a recorder configured to be worn by the patient and to receive transmission of information from the capsule, wherein the system is configured to determine position or motion information of the capsule from the information received from the capsule, analyze the position or motion information and determine a probability score representing the likelihood of the existence of polyps in the gastrointestinal tract of the patient; and wherein the system notifies the patient of further actions to be performed in response to the determined probability score.

System and method for polyp detection through capsule dynamics

A system for estimating the position of an imaging capsule that examines the gastrointestinal tract of a user, including an imaging capsule for examining inside the user; and a recorder for communicating with the imaging capsule from outside the user. The imaging capsule includes a controller for controlling functionality of the imaging capsule, a transceiver for communication with the recorder and a coil for transmission of electromagnetic signals. The recorder includes a controller for controlling functionality of the recorder, a transceiver for communication with the imaging capsule and a coil for receiving electromagnetic signals from the coil of the imaging capsule. Wherein the recorder determines the location of the imaging capsule based on measurements of the amplitude of the electromagnetic signals transmitted by the coil in the imaging capsule.

Position estimation of imaging capsule in gastrointestinal tract

Apparatus including an optical system () for use in an endoscope is provided. The optical system has distal and proximal ends, and includes an image sensor (), positioned at the proximal end of the optical system. The optical system also includes an optical member () having distal () and proximal ends, and shaped so as to define: (a) a lateral surface, at least a distal portion of which is curved, configured to provide omnidirectional lateral viewing, (b) a distal indentation () in the distal end of the optical member, and (c) a proximal indentation () in the proximal end of the optical member. The optical system also includes a convex mirror (), coupled to the distal end of the optical member, and shaped so as define an opening through which the distal indentation passes. A distal lens () is positioned distal to the mirror. The optical member, the mirror, and the distal lens have respective rotational shapes about a common rotation axis.
