ENDOSCOPY PROCEDURE FOR PRODUCING A PANORAMIC IMAGE FROM INDIVIDUAL IMAGES WHICH ARE RECORDED CHRONOLOGICALLY ONE AFTER THE OTHER USING A MAGNETICALLY GUIDED ENDOSCOPY CAPSULE AND ENDOSCOPY UNIT OPERATING ACCORDING TO SAID PROCEDURE

摘要

The invention relates to an endoscopy procedure and to an endoscopy unit for producing a panoramic image (Σi_j) which is composed of individual images (i) which are recorded chronologically one after the other using a magnetically guided endoscopy capsule (2), the movement of which is controlled by application of an external magnetic field (H), wherein the values for a translation (T) and rotation (R) of the endoscopy capsule (2) carried out between successive individual images (i) are determined from the control data (S) used for control of the magnetic field (H) and said values are used for registering the individual images (i).
