Abstract
This invention relates to a system their manufacturing technologies for enhanced endoscopic diagnosis. More particularly, this invention is related to endoscope capsule system, which may increase its operating time as high as 80 hours, and may reduce the size of the capsule system. Furthermore, the diagnosis procedure using the capsule system may be applicable to all patients with various age groups, where capsule size and large set of images for accuracy in diagnosis, are required.
