Engineering Micromechanical Systems for the Next Generation Wireless Capsule Endoscopy
Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) enables the detection and diagnosis of inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. However treatment of these pathologies can only be achieved through conventional means. This paper describes the next generation WCE with increased functionality to enable targeted drug delivery in the small intestinal tract. A prototype microrobot ...

متن کاملWireless capsule endoscopy.
Over the last decade, WCE has established itself as a valuable test for imaging the small intestine. It is a safe and relatively easy procedure to perform that can provide valuable information in the diagnosis of small-bowel conditions. Its applications still remain limited within the esophagus and colon. Future developments may include improving visualization within the esophagus and developin...
متن کاملRF Localization for Wireless Video Capsule Endoscopy
RF localization science and technology started with the global positioning systems for outdoor areas, and it then transformed into wireless indoor geolocation. The next step in the evolution of this science is the transformation into RF localization inside the human body. The first major application for this technology is the localization of the wireless video capsule endoscope (VCE) that has b...
متن کاملLDPC Options for Next Generation Wireless Systems
Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes have recently drawn much attention due to their nearcapacity error correction performance, and are currently in the focus of many standardization activities, e.g., IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.16e, and ETSI DVB-S. In this contribution, we discuss several aspects related to the practical application of such codes to wireless communications systems. We consider fle...
