ABSTRACT
The advanced nanotechnology leads to the development of “PILL CAMERA’, which is used for the treatment of cancer, ulcer and anemia. It has made revolution in the field of medicine. For years, doctors have used small cameras attached to fiber optic tubes to look inside the human body and diagnose illness. This tiny capsule can pass through our body, without causing any harm. Often internal problems to human body are subjected to surgery to diagnose the problem. The new tiny pill camera actually travels through the small intestine, snaping pictures at the rate of two per second. The images are transmitted wirelessly from the camera to a small pack that patient wears like a belt. During its 8 hour trip through the digestive tract, the battery powered pill uses a wide angle lenses to transmit about 50,000 images capable of identifying growths and other internal problems. The pill eventually passes through he colon and is eliminated naturally and safely.
Through it won’t replace the technology we currently used to diagnose problems in the human body; it is a tremendous asset for helping us visualize an area previously beyond our reach, short of surgery. It could prove a great benefit to patients as a less invasive procedure, especially in cases where we can limit the need for surgery for patients who are already experiencing some internal problems to their body
