Abstract:
A wireless capsule as a disease diagnosis tool in vivo can be introduced into a biological body by a native and/or artificial open, or endoscope, or an injection. The information obtained from a micro-spectrometer, and/or an imaging system, or a micro-biosensor, all of which are built-in a wireless capsule, can be transmitted to the outside of the biological body for medical diagnoses. In addition, a real-time specimen collection device is integrated with the diagnostic system for the in-depth in vitro analysis
