"A 'Colonoscopy Capsule' Could Be on the Way" - Kristen Fischer
A new autonomous robotic capsule promises accurate readings for colonoscopies with less patient discomfort while still providing accurate results. David Greenwald, MD, director of clinical gastroenterology and endoscopy at The Mount Sinai Hospital said, "The fact that the new robot can maneuver well, take biopsies, and remove polyps is an exciting innovation. The ability to take directed biopsies using a robot capsule as described in this pilot research would be a significant advance, and is very exciting."
