title: Micro capsule endoscope for gastro intestinal tract.
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 x 24 mm, 3.3 g, 320 x 320 pixel formats, 3 frame/sec, and over 11 hours of battery time.
