- The paper opened a new era towards wireless capsule endoscopy imaging by enabling remote diagnostic assessment of the gastrointestinal tract in a painless procedure. It addressed current limitations in visualization of superficial tissues by using a mechanical scanning device incorporating a high-frequency ultrasound capsule endoscopy (USCE) imaging to acquire transmural information through the tissue wall. In vitro results demonstrate that the proposed device is able to offer high image resolution and offer a viable basis for the fabrication of a USCE device. This work also showcases international research collaboration between UK, China and US instructions, supported by multiple major funds.
