Abstract

A device (160, 110)and method for mapping, diagnosing and treating inflammatory disorders (such as Crohn's disease) or other diseases, disorders or conditions of the intestinal tract is provided using a capsule (110) passing through the intestinal tract. Further, 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). A map of sensed impedance and or temperature may be derived from the pass of a capsule (110) to diagnose the disorder or disease. The capsule (110) or subsequently passed capsules may treat, further diagnose or mark the intestinal tract at a determined location along its length.
