Abstract/Summary

Endoscopy is a procedure that uses a lighted flexible endoscope to see inside the body. The endoscope to be used depends on which part of the body is to be diagnosed. The endoscopic procedure discussed in this research is called Gastro duodenoscopy and its main focus is the stomach. This endoscopic procedure may be used to determine the cause of certain sicknesses like abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and many more. However, the instrument used for endoscopy is too expensive, making the procedure itself expensive as well. Additionally, only a hand few of medical professionals can afford the present endoscope, which makes the practice of endoscopy limited.

The purpose of this research is to produce an endoscope that is low-cost but with acceptable image quality, so even practitioners from rural areas can afford an endoscope and practice endoscopy. An additional objective is to synthesize a new kind of endoscope that is capable of tilting and rotating electronically by utilizing a microcontroller and serve motors.
