7. OPTICAL DOME
Front part of the capsule.
Light receiving window.
Harmless.
Easy orientation.

8. LENS HOLDER
Accommodates the lens.
Lens is tightly fixed.
Avoid dislocation of lens.

9. LENS
Integral component.
Behind light receiving window.
Light through window falls on the
lens.

10. ILLUMINATING LED’S
Around lens & CMOS image sensor,4 LEDs
are present.
Arranged in round shape.

11. CMOS IMAGE SENSOR
High sensitive
Produce very high quality images.

12. BATTERY
Button shaped & 2 in number.
Behind the CMOS image sensor.
Silver oxide primary batteries.
Disposable.
Harmless.

13. TRANSMITTER
Behind the batteries.
Two transmitting electrodes are connected to it.
Electrodes are electrically isolated.

14. ANTENNA
It is arranged at the end of the capsule.
It is enclosed in an dome shaped chamber.
Receives data from transmitter.
Send to data recorder.

15. PILL CAMERA PLATFORM
COMPONENTS
DATA RECORDER
Small portable recording
device.
Placed in the recorder pouch.

16. WORKSTATION AND RAPID SOFTWARE
Review and analysis.

17. ENDOSCOPY
PROCEDURE
Capsule is swallowed by the patient like a
conventional pill.
It takes image as it is propelled forward by
peristalsis.
A wireless recorder worn on a belt, receives
the image transmitted by the pill.
A computer workstation processes the data
& produce a continuous still images.

FROM PILL CAMERA

21. ADVANTAGES
Painless , no side effect
Miniature size
High quality image
Avoid risk in sedation & radiation
Simple procedure
Harmless material
HIGH sensitivity
Efficient than normal
endoscopy

22. DISADVANTAGES
Patient with gastrointestinal structures or
narrowing are good candidates for this
procedure due to the risk of obstruction.
Patients with pacemakers, pregnant women
face difficulties.
Impossible to control camera behavior.
Very expensive.
Not reusable.

23. APPLICATION
Tumors.
Ulcer.
Injury.
Malabsorption.

24. FUTURE SCOPE
Zooming and auto focus.
Reduction in size.
Cost effective.
Longer battery life.

25. CONCLUSION
Pill camera is one of a pioneering concept for
medical technology of the 21 first century.
The endoscopy system is the first of its kind
to be able provide non-invasive image of the
entire small intestine.
It has revolutionized the field of diagnostic
imaging to a great extent and has provide to be
of great help to physicians all over the world.
