The following image displays the key components of the MiroCam 

capsule endoscope system. 

 

To enable physicians to diagnose images of a patient’s small bowel, the 

MiroCam method of action includes the following steps.   

 

 The MiroCam capsule uses a CMOS Image 

sensor built in the capsule to take the pictures through the front of the 

optical dome. The LED light flashes each time the picture is taken to 

brighten the dark digestive organ. The capsule captures 3 pictures per 

second and sends the images to the receiver immediately. For 

transmission, the images taken from the capsule are transformed to 

data that is possible to transmit to the receiver through the human body.
