A Medicine gone too far….The pill that FILMS your insides: Tiny camera takes 18 photos per second while travelling through your body
Greetings,
The pill that FILMS your insides: Tiny camera takes 18 photos per second while travelling through your body
The futuristic ‘Pillcam’ is a tiny camera fitted with a flashing LED light
It is designed to show up any abnormalities inside the human body
The camera is swallowed like traditional tablets and takes the same route through the body as food
As it moves through the body, it takes 18 images every second
This means medics can see inside organs without the need for surgery
It will also pick up problems that external scans traditionally wouldn’t find

Ever wondered what happens once you’ve popped a pill?
Well now you can watch this journey for yourself on video footage, captured by a pioneering camera.
The futuristic ‘Pillcam’ is a tiny camera fitted with a flashing LED light, designed to show up any abnormalities inside the human body.

Once the patient has swallowed the Pillcam (pictured) – which are used only once – it travels all the way through the body in a matter of hours. The patient wears a belt, which receives and stores the images, to help identify conditions such as coeliac disease and Crohn’s Disease in the small bowel

The camera is swallowed in the same way as traditional tablets, and takes the same route as food.
It travels through the body, capturing 18 photos ever second.
HOW DOES THE PILLCAM WORK?
Once the patient has swallowed the Pillcam, it travels all the way through the body in a matter of hours.
Each Pillcam is used only once before being thrown away.
It measures 0.4 inches (11mm) by one inch (26mm), and weighs four grams.
The patient wears a belt, which receives and stores the images to help identify conditions such as coeliac disease and Crohn’s Disease.
The capsule endoscopy costs around £500 a time.
It is available at a handful of hospitals in the UK including Bolton, Wythensahw and Neath Port Talbot.
It means doctors and nurses can see more of the internal organs, picking up problems that external scans may not find.
Dr Salil Singh, a consultant gastroenterologist who introduced capsule endoscopy to the Royal Bolton Hospital, said: ‘There is a huge amount we are not able to see with a usual endoscopy.
‘Most people find it fascinating. This really was science fiction 20 years ago but now it’s a reality.’
While body parts such as the oesophagus, stomach and large bowel can be successfully scanned using traditional equipment, other organs such as the intestines and small bowel are not accessible with an endoscope – a thin, flexible tube with a camera on the end.
Also, the small bowel, which measures between six and 26ft (two and eight metres) long, lies in the middle of the digestive system – making it difficult for medical staff to examine……MORE HERE
