  • Patent number: 9125557
    Abstract: A magnetic maneuvering system for capsule endoscope includes the capsule endoscope, an annular fitting sleeved around the outer surface of the capsule endoscope. A plurality of magnetic driven parts are provided and distributed on the annular fitting member. The control device includes a magnetic driving part for magnetically actuating the magnetic driven parts, thus enabling the capsule endoscope to rotate and move in an organism as a result of the actuation of the magnetic driven parts. By magnetically controlling the magnetic driven parts, the capsule endoscope is allowed to rotate or move under the control of the control device to achieve better image retrieval results and improve over the poor image retrieval results obtained by the prior art since the location and direction of a traditional capsule endoscope, relying solely on the contractions of the digestive tract, cannot be controlled.
