Abstract:
1. A body-insertable apparatus comprising: an imaging unit that captures an in-vivo image of a subject; a signal processing unit that includes a memory in which the in-vivo image is temporarily stored, writes the in-vivo image in the memory, the signal processing unit reading the in-vivo image from the memory on a pixel basis and converting the in-vivo image to serial information to transfer the serial information; a rate converter that converts a transfer processing rate to a rate higher than a writing processing rate, the transfer processing rate being at which the signal processing unit reads the in-vivo image from the memory and converts the in-vivo image to the serial information to transfer the serial information, the writing processing rate being at which the signal processing unit writes the in-vivo image in the memory; and a transmitting unit that wirelessly transmits the serial information transferred from the signal processing unit at a transmission rate corresponding to the transfer processing rate.
