    摘要: An endoscope system includes a magnetic detection unit, an insertion part of an endoscope that is used by being relatively moved with respect to the magnetic detection unit, and a processor, in which the insertion part includes a tubular member that extends in a longitudinal direction and has a magnetic pattern formed along the longitudinal direction, the magnetic detection unit detects a magnetic flux density in the longitudinal direction and a magnetic flux density in a radial direction at a plurality of positions along the longitudinal direction of the tubular member, and the processor determines a movement state of the insertion part in the longitudinal direction based on the magnetic flux densities.

    摘要: A system and method for controlling a capsule endoscope is provided. The control method includes: measuring a magnetic field value of the environment in which the capsule endoscope is subjected; obtaining a critical magnetic field value for suspension of the capsule endoscope according to the magnetic field value; adjusting a traction force on the capsule endoscope according to the critical magnetic field value for suspension; and controlling the movement of the capsule endoscope in a horizontal and/or vertical direction, wherein the movement of the first magnet is controlled by moving the second magnet, and the capsule endoscope is in a quasi-suspended state as moving in the horizontal and/or vertical direction. The system and method reduce friction between the capsule endoscope and wall of the target area during movement by controlling the capsule endoscope in a quasi-suspended state, which makes the scanning of the target area more accurate.
