Abstract :
A novel capsule endoscope (CE) named "MiRo" was developed based on a completely new transmission technology known as "electric-field propagation." This technology marks the initial achievement of cooperative research between the Intelligent Microsystem Center of KIST, IntroMedic Co., Ltd, and Yonsei University College of Medicine under Korea\´s Frontier 21 project. The specifications of "MiRo" include real-time image receiving, 10.8 times 24 mm, 3.3 g, 320 times 320 pixel formats, 3 frame/sec, and over 11 hours of battery time.
