The development of capsule endoscopy (CE) in 2001 has given gastroenterologists the
opportunity to investigate the small bowel in a non-invasive way. CE is most commonly …

A widely accepted definition of a medical device is an instrument or apparatus that is used to
diagnose, prevent or treat disease. Medical devices take a broad range of forms and utilize …

Pose estimation methods for robotically guided magnetic actuation of capsule endoscopes
have recently enabled trajectory following and automation of repetitive endoscopic …

Diagnostic endoscopy in the gastrointestinal tract has remained largely unchanged for
decades and is limited to the visualization of the tissue surface, the collection of biopsy …

The purpose of this study is to validate a Jacobian-based iterative method for real-time
localization of magnetically controlled endoscopic capsules. The proposed approach …

Capsule endoscopy (CE) has transformed from a research venture into a widely used
clinical tool and the primary means for diagnosing small bowel pathology. These orally …

Magnetic-based approaches are highly promising to provide innovative solutions for the
design of medical devices for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, such as in the …

Capsule endoscopes have evolved from passively moving diagnostic devices to actively
moving systems with potential therapeutic capability. In this review, we will discuss the state …

This paper presents an autonomous navigation system for cost-effective magnetic-assisted
colonoscopy, employing force-based sensors, an actuator, a proportional–integrator …

Retroflexion during colonoscopy is typically only practiced in the wider proximal and distal
ends of the large intestine owing to the stiff nature of the colonoscope. This inability to …
