Alternative Approach
• A basic endoscope is attached to feeding
tube
• Verification takes place
via imaging
• No radiation is needed Fig. 3 Endoscopes are commonly used in
medical environments [3]

Data Acquisition (1)
• Images are processed within the following
steps:
– Image captured by camera
– Analog signal transmitted to evaluation board
– Microcontroller converts into digital signals
– Signal transmission to PC via USB-cable
– Output with proper software
![Page 13: Image Technology to Verify the Placement of Nasogastric ......Nasogastric Feeding Tubes • Commonly accepted treatment • Makes passive feeding possible • Wrong placement can cause](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052004/6017c3e89961fe49b70d5b4d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Data Acquisition (2)
Fig. 4 Data acquisition process of the micro camera verification system: The images are taken by the cube camera
and afterwards sent to the evaluation board in which the digitalization takes place via the microcontroller. The data is
then sent via USB cable to a PC on which the images can be seen with the software that is provided

Results
• Combination of components is possible
• Data acquisition is
working
• Size is too large for
clinical trials Fig. 5 The prototype 1.0 has too large dimensions
for clinical trials although further improvements
can reduce the general size of the system

Discussion
• The verification method works in theory
and in practical trials
• Improvements have to be done for clinical
trials
• An efficient and cost effective alternative
has been found

Summary
• Project idea was to create a verification
method via imaging
• Components should be small and cheap
• Imaging output should make a fast
diagnosis of placement possible
