  • Title: Magnetic markers as a noninvasive tool to monitor gastrointestinal transit.
    Author: Weitschies W, Wedemeyer J, Stehr R, Trahms L.
    Journal: IEEE Trans Biomed Eng; 1994 Feb; 41(2):192-5. PubMed ID: 8026852.
    Abstract:
    A novel method to monitor gastrointestinal transit of solid oral dosage forms or nutrients is presented, providing a simultaneous recording of gastrointestinal motility of the traversed section. Based on the measurement of the magnetic field of an ingested magnetized marker, its location is found by fitting a magnetic dipole field to the measured data.
