Abstract
Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) takes the form of a pill equipped with a CCD or CMOS sensor, two batteries, and a RF (radiofrequency) transmitter that enables the wireless identification of gastrointestinal abnormalities such as ulcers, blood, and polyps (Moglia et al. 2009) with no need for hospitalization or sedation.
