Abstract:
1. A magnetic maneuvering system, comprising: a capsule endoscope for use in retrieving images of an interior of an organism; an annular fitting member sleeved around an outer surface of the capsule endoscope and having a plurality of magnetic driven parts provided thereon, wherein the annular fitting member has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, each of the plurality of magnetic driven parts includes an N pole and an S pole, the plurality of magnetic driven parts comprising first magnetic driven parts and second magnetic driven parts, wherein the N pole of each of the first magnetic driven parts is positioned in the first end, the S pole of each of the first magnetic driven parts is positioned in the second end, the N pole of each of the second magnetic driven parts is positioned in the second end, the S pole of each of the second magnetic driven parts is positioned in the first end, and any two adjacent ones of the magnetic driven parts are arranged in such a way that the poles thereof are opposite to each other in the first end of the annular fitting member; and a control device disposed exterior to the organism and including a magnetic driving part for controlling the capsule endoscope inside the organism, wherein the control device actuates the plurality of magnetic driven parts by the magnetic driving part via magnetism, for enabling the capsule endoscope to rotate and move in the organism corresponding to actuation of the magnetic driven parts.
