title: European research on wireless endoscopy--the VECTOR project.
abstract: Within the European VECTOR project, various technologies to enhance the current field of capsule endoscopy towards screening of colorectal cancers and its precursors, and enhanced diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities have been developed. Among others, this includes technologies for active locomotion, wireless therapy and detection of gastrointestinal bleeding. The VECTOR project has contributed to the trend to develop novel procedures for improved diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.
