Abstract
An in-vivo device, system and a method for imaging a body lumen, typically liquid filled body lumen. The in-vivo device may have a specific gravity of about 1 or a volume to weight ratio that enables it to float. The in-vivo device may include an optical system for viewing through a body lumen liquid and another optical system for viewing through a non liquid medium. The in-vivo device may be moved through the body lumen by the liquid movement in that lumen.
Claims22
A floatable device for in-vivo imaging, said device comprising:
- a first optical system for viewing through a body lumen liquid;
- and
- a second optical system for viewing through a non liquid medium.
An in-vivo imaging system, said system comprising:
- a floatable imaging device, said device comprising a first optical system for viewing through a body lumen liquid and a second optical system for viewing through a non liquid medium;
- a transmitter;
- and
- a receiver.
A method of manufacturing a floatable in-vivo imaging device, the method comprising:
- providing a first lens holder having one or more lenses for viewing through air;
- providing a second lens holder having one or more lenses for viewing through liquid;
- attaching the first and second lens holders to a circuit board;
- and inserting the circuit board into a housing.
