Production of advanced integrated camera pills

Norwegian researchers are aiming to manufacture tablets that incorporate advanced camcorders (which can transmit video directly from the inside of the bowel).

"While the current film-based tablet can only transmit two shots per second, to test areas (which are inaccessible by using traditional equipment) In the case of the stomach and intestines, the tablet incorporates an advanced camcorder (equipped with: a larger battery and a sufficient light source; the size of the compressed video file is about 3% of its original size. Our wireless broadband technology can directly transmit high-quality video of observations from within the intestinal tract, helping doctors determine the primary The location of this advanced video camera integrated within the patient's body, " says Ilangko Balasingham, Project Manager at Can Center. University of Oslo Hospital Card.

Experiments (on pigs) show that powerful video signals can be received when the advanced tablet incorporates a 5cm depth in the abdomen or chest cavity; In deeper positions, the signals become weaker.

In addition, researchers at the University of Oslo have created a signal transducer small enough to fit into the advanced camera-integrated tablet, helping doctors know exactly where it is inside the body. patient filming. A ring of tiny (tiny) receiver (s) around the patient's abdomen helps to catch the signal.

"This is similar to using the Global Positioning System (GPS) to find the way," says Balasingham.

The researchers believe that the technology could be used in industrial fields. "We can use this advanced camcorder incorporator for purposes such as finding damage in underwater piping , " says Balasingham.
