Abstract: A system, apparatus and method may indicate in-vivo device (10) location within a body utilizing for example illumination irregularities for calculation of location. There may be provided with an in-vivo imaging device (24) a set of dedicated illumination sources (43) and a set of detectors (30) located on an in-vivo device, such as a swallowable capsule (10).

Abstract: A device and system for in-vivo imaging with changeable fields of view includes a capsule shaped housing having an external shell that is adapted to be swallowed and passed through a patient due to the housing having no physical connection to the outside. The housing encloses an imaging unit that includes an imager and an illumination source, and a rotatable structure to alter the field of view of the imaging unit. The rotatable structure includes a motor that rotates the imaging unit relative to the and within the external shell. External commands transmitted from outside a patient can control the rotatable structure.

Abstract: A system and method may determine the orientation of an in-vivo imaging device relative to the earth's gravitation field. Some embodiments may enable indication of specific locations where other methods provide non-satisfactory imaging coverage. The system may include an in-vivo imaging system with a container or shell containing an orientation object. The container may be placed in at least one optical dome or optical field of an in-vivo imaging device, such as an autonomous capsule. The location of the orientation object's image on the in-vivo imaging device imager, as well as size of the image, may be determined as functions of the location of the orientation object inside the container, for each image acquired.

Abstract: The present invention may provide a device and system for in-vivo imaging with changeable fields of view. The device may contain, for example a rotatable structure that when rotated may change the field of view of an imager or other sensor. The rotating capability may be used to provide wide field of view. Control of the rotatable structure may be, for example, automatic or in response to user commands transmitted to or generated within the in-vivo device.
