A method for detecting the position of a magnet guided endo copy capsule and an endoscopic device for carrying out the method, as well as associated endo copy capsule

摘要

In a method for detecting the position of a magnet guided endo copy capsule (2) and an operating according to this process is an endoscopic device with a in the endo copy capsule (2) a camera arranged (4) of the camera (28) of a of at least one of the or on the endo copy capsule (2) arranged light source (6) illuminated object is recorded. From the position of the real image (30) of a by reflection on a reflective surface (12) arising virtual image (22) of the light source (6) in the camera image (28), information about the position of the endo copy capsule (2) relative to this reflective surface (12) is derived.
