Article Abstract
A traditional capsule endoscope can only take 2D images, and most of the images are not clear enough to be used for diagnosing. A 3D capsule endoscope can help doctors make a quicker and more accurate diagnosis. However, blurred images negatively affect reconstruction accuracy. A compact, autofocus capsule endoscope system is designed in this study. Using a liquid lens, the system can be electronically controlled to autofocus, and without any moving elements. The depth of field of the system is in the 3-100 mm range and its field of view is about 110°. The images captured by this optical system are much clearer than those taken by a traditional capsule endoscope. A 3D reconstruction algorithm is presented to adapt to the zooming function of our proposed system. Simulations and experiments have shown that more feature points can be correctly matched and a higher reconstruction accuracy can be achieved by this strategy.

Oral bioavailability of peptides can be improved by targeting specific gastro-intestinal segments, such as the ileum. However, oral drug products with a drug release in the ileum are challenging to develop. The main objectives of this study were: (a) to evaluate imaging technologies for the pig model after endoscopic drug dosing, (b) to evaluate the in vivo targeting properties of a novel coating technology and (c) to measure the impact of GI targeting on the absorption of the GLP-1 agonist semaglutide.

Optical endoscopy has been extensively used in clinical screening and diagnosis of internal diseased organs. Photoacoustic endoscopy, one of the rapidest evolving optical endoscopies, combines rich optical contrasts with high spatial acoustic resolving capability at a considerable penetration depth. However, implementing high-speed, large field-of-view photoacoustic endoscopy in arbitrarily shaped biological tracts and cavities remains a challenge.

In this paper, we develop a combination of algorithms, including camera motion detector (CMD), deep learning models, class activation mapping (CAM), and periodical feature detector for the purpose of evaluating human gastric motility by detecting the presence of gastric peristalsis and measuring the period of gastric peristalsis. Moreover, we use visual interpretations provided by CAM to improve the sensitivity of the detection results. We evaluate the performance of detecting peristalsis and measuring period by calculating accuracy, F1, and area under curve (AUC) scores.

Background: Gastrointestinal endoscopes are essential for diagnosing and treating digestive disorders, although some drawbacks exist, such as patient discomfort and sedation.
Methods: Disposable, minimally invasive gastrointestinal endoscopes have garnered attention among endoscopists due to portability, improved patient comfort, and lack of post-procedural requirements. This innovation shows potential as an alternative to traditional endoscopy methods, with several studies confirming efficacy and safety in clinical settings.

The absence of accurately position-annotated datasets of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract limits the efficient learning of deep learning-based models and their effective performance evaluation for depth and pose estimation. The currently available synthetic datasets for the GI tract lack the intrinsic anatomical features and the associated textural characteristics. In this work, we have developed a method to generate virtual models of the small and large intestines of human gastrointestinal system integrated with a virtual capsule endoscope, that generate position-annotated image dataset (SimIntestine) along with ground truth depth maps.
