    摘要: It is an object of the present invention to provide a device and method for controlled positioning and/or releasing an object in a body lumen.The device of the invention comprises a liquid filled tube detachably connected to an injecting apparatus at its proximal end and to a holding and releasing unit having a bore configured to hold and release the object, at its distal end. The holding and releasing unit is connected to the tube such that liquid can pass from the tube into the holding and releasing unit bore.The distal end of the tube is capable of being inserted and maneuvered through a body lumen.The object is retained in the device during its manipulation through the body lumen due to frictional force exerted by the holding and releasing unit on the object. The object is released by activating the injecting apparatus to achieve an hydraulic pressure in the holding and releasing unit bore which is higher than the frictional force.

    摘要: A system and method for measuring and analyzing motility within a body lumen such as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, where an in vivo imaging device such as a capsule captures images and transmits the images to a processor, which calculates the motility of the device based on comparison of the images. Preferably, the processor compares the intensity of pairs of images or of elements of pairs of images, generates a variance for the compared images, and calculates the motility of the imaging device from the variances. The motility data may be presented to a user in various manners; for example, a plot of motility over time may be generated, or indications of low motility may be presented to the user of the system.

    摘要: An optical system for illuminating and viewing a target (15) in which an illumination element (16) and a receiving element (13) are disposed behind a single optical window (14), and which obtains data essentially free of backscatter and stray light. The optical window (14) is configure such that is defines a shape having at least one focal curve, i.e., an ellipsoid shape dome. The illumination element (16) and the receiving element (13) are geometrically positioned on the focal curve plane or in proximity of the focal curve plane, such that, when illuminating, rays from the illumination element internally reflected from the optical window (14) will not incident on the receiving element (13).
