goldicedance Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Georgetown University currently uses such a "disposable camera." While hospitalized in 2004, I had a roommate who was having GI problems. She did "swallow" a camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunfish Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 i had heard of this on the gastroparesis discussion list i pop in on. it's definitely interesting.and just to clarify, it's different than the camera pill you're referring to lois. obviously has some similarities but what it actually monitors is different. this one doesn't take pictures but rather tracts the exact location/movement through the GI tract. the camera pill is more concerned with exactly that...taking pictures. it's probably where they got the idea for this newer one though.i am glad that this pill is supposed to "last" five days....it might take that long to get through me if i ever get to try it! melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
