Abstract:
Constant struggle in medical science to develop new, more advanced methods of medicine application and reducing the invasiveness of a range of tests and procedures is present. For achieving this ambitious goal, it is necessary to find and develop new methods and technologies and to applicate them. The issue of localizing a range of devices inside the human body is one of them. Solution to this problem would enable the upsurge of nanorobots (nanobots) for micro-operations, application of strong medicine on limited areas to lessen its side effects, conducting the nanotoxicology reports or reducing the discomfort of some invasive procedures like endoscopy. In this paper, the focus is on the latter and an example of an endoscopy with a pill is given. Due to maximizing the effectiveness of endoscopy by the use of the pill there is a need for optimizing the technology used for its localization. S EMCAD tool is used in modelling of the scenario and executing the simulations.
