  • System and method for assessing a patient condition using tertiles derived from capsule endoscope images of the small bowel
    Patent number: 8185185
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed, which combine image data of a patient, such as images of the patient's GI tract, with rating mucosal damage. According to some embodiments of the present invention the system and method are able to assess a patient's GI tract condition, to monitor mucosal healing in a patient's GI tract, preferably, the small bowel (SB) mucosa and/or to differentiate between different pathological conditions. The system and method of the invention can provide a value or score arrived at by assigning a grade relating to one or more predetermined parameters.

  • System and method for maneuvering a device in vivo
    Patent number: 6986738
    Abstract: A system and method for maneuvering a device in vivo, wherein a tube has a longitudinal axis, a distal end and a proximal end, and an in vivo sensing device is changeably connected to the distal end of the tube. Typically, the sensing device may be moved from one position where it is, for example, within the axial profile of the tube or along the longitudinal axis of the tube, to a second position, where it is not.
