| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, novel magnetic actuators for a next-generation capsule endoscope having abilities of diagnosis and treatment were developed. Expected functions such as brush cytology, biopsy and drug release were adopted, and then mechanisms suitable for each function were fabricated. In addition, an anchoring mechanism that can stop the capsule against peristaltic movement of small intestine was successfully built in the capsule. Finally, a 3-D magnetic field generation system consisting of 3-axis coils, power amplifiers and signal processor connected to a PC was constructed and tested for above-mentioned actuators.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
カプセル内視鏡は、それまで困難であった小腸内の観察を可能にした画期的な医療機器であるが、その機能はまだ観察だけであり、診断や治療ができないという課題があった。本研究で得られた成果は、外部磁界を利用したマイクロ磁気アクチュエータをカプセル内に組み込むことで、細胞診・生検による診断機能や投薬による治療機能をカプセル内視鏡に付与できることを実証したものであり、次世代の医療機器の進展に大きく寄与するものである。
