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
