In vivo imaging device and method of manufacture thereof

摘要

A substantially spherical in vivo imaging device ( 40 ) may be used for imaging body lumens in the GI tract. The imaging device ( 40 ) may include for example a ballast or weight ( 74 ) for setting a preferred orientation of the device within the body lumen. The substantially spherical shape ( 52 ) of the in vivo imaging device ( 40 ) may facilitate capturing steady streams of imaging data in large body lumens. A method of manufacture is presented.
