Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

502
Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers,...

Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Medical Device Technology
  • Sensor Systems

Background:

  • Accurate real-time localization of capsule endoscopes (CE) in the digestive system is crucial for diagnosis and treatment but remains challenging.
  • Limitations in CE size, diagnostic volume, and device compatibility hinder precise feedback control and positioning.
  • Existing methods struggle with the dynamic and confined environment within the intestine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel robotic localization sensing methodology for active locomotive capsule endoscopes.
  • To enable precise real-time feedback control and accurate recording of CE positioning.
  • To overcome the limitations of current CE localization technologies.

Main Methods:

  • A planar cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR) kinematics combined with Hall effect sensor (HES) array magnetic field measurements.
  • The Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm was employed to estimate the position of the permanent magnet (PM) in the CE.
  • The planar CDPR was integrated to track the PM, enabling position determination through robot forward kinematics.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method achieved a root mean square error (RMSE) of less than 1.13 mm for position (X, Y, Z) and 1.14° for orientation (θ, φ).
  • The sensing space was extended to ±70 mm with a 34 × 34 mm² HES array.
  • An average moving distance of 40 ± 2.42 mm in the Z-direction was achieved.

Conclusions:

  • The robotic sensing methodology using HES and CDPR offers a promising solution for precise CE localization.
  • This approach enhances sensing space expansion capabilities using a compact sensor module.
  • The findings may significantly advance the field of minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
