Given Imaging's diagnostic system for imaging the esophagus has received marketing clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The system includes Given's PillCam ESO video capsule, which is the same size as the company's small bowel video capsule, the PillCam SB, measuring 11x26mm. Miniaturisation of electronics has enabled the PillCam ESO capsule to include two imaging sensors, one at each end of the capsule. Each imager captures two frames (images) per second to give a total of four frames per second.
