  • Ultrasonic Capsule Endoscopy Device having Image-based Relative Motion Estimation
    Publication number: 20220218303
    Abstract: Improved localization of the capsule in acoustic capsule endoscopy is provided by using analysis of the frames of the acoustic images to deduce the relative motion of the capsule from frame to frame. This idea can be supplemented with any combination of: further localization methods; propulsion of the capsule via acoustic radiation reaction; bidirectional communication and system level feedback control; energy harvesting; photoacoustic (or x-ray acoustic) imaging; and adding therapy and/or sensor capabilities to the capsule.
    Type: Application
