This project focuses on the development and validation of a dynamic model for a magnetic capsule endoscope, with an emphasis on x-ray-guided magnetic control for navigating the GI tract. The project will involve modelling the capsule's interactions within a bowel phantom and optimizing the magnetic control system for precise, real-time guidance.
Tasks:
-
Dynamic Modeling of Capsule Interactions:
- Develop a mathematical model to simulate the behaviour of the magnetic capsule within a bowel phantom.
- Characterize forces acting on the capsule, including magnetic, frictional, and tissue-contact forces.
- Implement the model in a simulation environment, validating it against existing data.
-
X-Ray-Guided Magnetic Control System:
- Design and implement a magnetic control system that uses x-ray imaging feedback for real-time navigation.
- Optimize the magnetic field and control parameters to achieve stable, precise movement of the capsule within the bowel phantom.
- Test the system under different conditions to assess responsiveness, accuracy, and robustness.
