2.3 MiroCam® Method of Action
The following image displays the key components of the MiroCam
capsule endoscope system.
To enable physicians to diagnose images of a patient’s small bowel, the
MiroCam method of action includes the following steps.
Step 1. Image Capturing: The MiroCam capsule uses a CMOS Image
sensor built in the capsule to take the pictures through the front of the
optical dome. The LED light flashes each time the picture is taken to
brighten the dark digestive organ. The capsule captures 3 pictures per
second and sends the images to the receiver immediately. For
transmission, the images taken from the capsule are transformed to
data that is possible to transmit to the receiver through the human body.
