<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for delivering an operation device to a target location in a gastrointestinal tract. <P>SOLUTION: A capsule 60 moves through the gastrointestinal tract 62 in a first pass to generate a map of the gastrointestinal tract, and to identify a location of interest. In its second pass, the capsule 60 moves through the gastrointestinal tract, and is controlled to perform a job at the identified location. Repeated localizations generate a map of the route taken by the capsule in the gastrointestinal tract 62. Images displayed on an image monitor 61 are compared with the generated map displayed on a position monitor 63 to identify a pathological location 72. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
