WIRELESS CAPSULE ENDOSCOPY TECHNOLOGY FOR CLASSIFICATION OF IMAGES IN GASTROENTEROLOGISTS ASSERTION USING PILL CAMERA

Abstract

This research paper examined and re-evaluates the technological innovation, theory, structural
dynamics and evolution of Pill Camera(Capsule Endoscopy) technology in redirecting the
response manner of small bowel (intestine) examination in human. The Pill Camera (Endoscopy
Capsule) is made up of sealed biocompatible material to withstand acid, enzymes and other
antibody chemicals in the stomach is a technology that helps the medical practitioners especially
the general physicians and the gastroenterologists to examine and re-examine the intestine for
possible bleeding or infection. Before the advent of the Pill camera (Endoscopy Capsule) the
colonoscopy was the local method used but research showed that some parts (bowel) of the
intestine can’t be reach by mere traditional method hence the need for Pill Camera. Countless
number of deaths from stomach disease such as polyps, inflammatory bowel (Crohn”s diseases),
Cancers, Ulcer, anaemia and tumours of small intestines which ordinary would have been
detected by sophisticated technology like Pill Camera has become norm in the developing
nations. Nevertheless, not only will this paper examine and re-evaluate the Pill Camera
Innovation, theory, Structural dynamics and evolution it unravelled and aimed to create
awareness for both medical practitioners and the public.
