Capsule Endoscopy is a term used to describe a miniature capsule used to record images through the digestive tract for use in medicine. It was developed by an Israeli missile specialist in the mid-1990's. The capsule, also known as a capsule camera or video pill, is a camera with the size and shape of a pill used to visualize the gastrointestinal tract. Capsule endoscopy has other names such as Wireless capsule endoscopy, Miniature Ingestible Capsule, and is marketed as EndoCapsule by Olympus Corp. and PillCam by Given Imaging Ltd.
