The View From Down There FDA Approves Pill Cam For Colon Exams



Patients who undergo colon screenings might breathe a little easier now that U.S. regulators have approved a pill containing two cameras. The PillCam Colon is minimally invasive and runs on batteries, its maker says. And as you might imagine, it's disposable.

The PillCam is made by Given Imaging, which posted a YouTube video of the device's intestinal trip, titled "Journey of the Colon." That could be because titles such as Fantastic Voyage (1966) and Innerspace (1987) were already taken.
