After taking laxatives and fasting (so that the digestive tract is clean) the person ingests a disposable capsule which immediately begins to take photos and sends them to a data recorder that he will have on a belt. When the bowel has been examined, the recorder is removed and your gastroenterologist will view the images to make a diagnosis. The capsule is spontaneously ejected.
