摘要:
In a capsule endoscope illuminating units are disposed around an image capturing unit in such a manner that an optical axis of the illuminating units do not intersect with an optical axis of the observation unit, and illumination areas of the illuminating units overlap at substantially a central portion of an image capturing area of the image capturing unit.

An in-body information acquiring apparatus includes a function executing unit that realizes a predetermined function inside a body of a patient. A power-supply circuit includes a power unit that includes a cell and that outputs a first current and a first voltage; and a converter that converts the first current to a second current, which is a current required to operate the function executing unit for a predetermined time, and converts the first voltage to a second voltage, which is a voltage required to operate the function executing unit.

A power supply apparatus supplies power to a body-insertable apparatus from outside a subject. The body-insertable apparatus is introduced into the subject and obtains intra-subject information. The power supply apparatus includes a first electric cable which is wound around a circumferential surface of a garment and forms a coil, the garment covering the subject, the coil having a non-directionality at a time of power supply; and a power supply unit which supplies power to the body-insertable apparatus in a contactless manner through the coil.

A capsule endoscope includes a storage unit that stores signal processing data necessary for signal processing specific to an imaging device of a capsule endoscope, and a transmitting unit that transmits the signal processing data stored in the storage unit. Besides, a capsule endscope system includes the capsule endoscope and a receiver which receives the signal processing data transmitted from the transmittting unit. The capsule endoscope does not perform signal processing specific to the imaging device but the receiver performs signal processing specific to the imaging device based on the received signal processing data.

A capsule endoscope 3 as an example of a body-insertable apparatus includes a battery 100, a control information detecting circuit 31 to which driving power is supplied from the battery 100, a system control circuit 32, and a driving controller 34 that is arranged between the battery 100 and the control information detecting circuit 31 and the system control circuit 32. The driving controller 34 controls driving of the control information detecting circuit 31, the system control circuit 32 or the like based on a temperature detected by a temperature sensor unit 33, thereby preventing actuation of the capsule endoscope 3 outside the body of a subject.
摘要:
A transmitting and receiving apparatus (2) that transmits a radio signal to a capsule endoscope includes: a transmitting level determining unit (25) disposed near a transmitting resonance circuit (22); a frequency controller (26) that controls an oscillation frequency based on a result of determination executed by the transmitting level determining unit (25); and a frequency variable oscillator (16) that changes the oscillation frequency, based on the control of the frequency controller (26). By changing the oscillation frequency so that a transmission level becomes large, the oscillation frequency can be changed so as to decrease a frequency difference between the oscillation frequency and the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit (22) that changes along a variation in a self inductance value of a coil (24).
