Capsule Endoscopy

Capsule Endoscopy is a technique whereby the patient swallows a pill equipped with a small camera to examine one's gastrointestinal tract. Research being carried out in this field employs medical image processing techniques to analyse the capsule images, in order to automatically identify gastrointestinal organs or any pathologies present.

Below is a list of the publications in the field of capsule endoscopy authored by researchers within the Center for Biomedical Cybernetics:
