Abstract

A capsule tracking system (160) is provided for tracking a capsule's (110) location along the length of an intestinal tract as various treatment and/or sensing modalities are employed. In one variation, an acoustic signal is used to determine the location of the capsule (110). The method of use is also set forth.
