Abstract
A device and system enables obtaining data such as in vivo images from within body lumens or cavities, such as images of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. A device may include an imaging system and a radio frequency (RF) transmitter for transmitting signals from an imaging device to a receiving system. The signal strength of the transmitter may be varied or changed to account for, for example, the amount of signal attenuation resulting from body tissues.
