A week ago we listened to a conference on capsule endoscopy, where we were invited by a British expert and a Japanese expert, who is the main designer of capsule endoscopy, and he explained to us the future of capsule endoscopy and the latest research that is being done.
Now clinically capsule endoscopy we humans can’t control it, but they are studying a capsule endoscope that can be controlled, so that we can control and observe the image in time; and they are also studying how to perform biopsy, just like a Swiss army knife, which can be biopsied and treated, I think in the future capsule endoscopy will be like a robot, which can be flexible and owned by us humans.
