Abstract
The present invention relates to an operation control system for spirally operating a capsule endoscope along a tubular organ, and a capsule type endoscope system comprising the same. The operation control system for a capsule endoscope of the present invention comprises: a magnetic field generation portion () comprising a first coil unit () provided on three orthogonal axes to generate a magnetic field and a second coil unit () comprising one coil structure for generating a magnetic field gradient; and a mechanical coil driving portion () for three-dimensionally rotating the second coil unit (), thereby generating a rotating magnetic field and the magnetic field gradient. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the operation control system for a capsule endoscope by forming the rotating magnetic field and the magnetic field gradient for a spiral motion of a capsule endoscope only with a minimum coil system.
