Hello All,

Anyone here who is working or worked on Capsule Endoscopy? If yes I need some help.
I am a new learner in this area.

Thank you.
 

Actually, I am thinking about to work in this area. Right now, I want to know what kind of (practical) dis-advantages have appeared in Capsule Endoscopy? Why it couldn't be popular as much? What happen with patients when they swallow the capsule?
 

Probably problems to swallow 2,5cm PVC/steel material, and price of whole equipment including receiving desktop station and capsule, which have influence on price of whole tretman. We accept that capsule is for one time use.
 

That is more of a medical question than an electronics one. Capsule endoscopy is a diagnostic tool. Normal endoscopy covers diagnosis as well as treatment and spreads to many areas of medical diagnosis and treatment. As such I would say capsule endoscopy is always going to be more limited in its application.

Keith.
 

All replies are constructive. thanks.

@Keith: Why do you think that it is going to be more limited? Actually I wanted to know the disadvantages and flaws in this system. It is completely a Bio-mechatronic concept and my question is related to that.

@tpetar: I can understand the expenses and this kind of treatment is much much away from a Somalian patient. let us just be engineers.
