ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is that the examiner easily picks up a series of images over a desired region in a desired digestive tract without such troublesome examination work that the examiner successively knows the imaging field to the inside of the digestive tract. A body-insertable device system of the invention includes a capsule endoscope1, a permanent magnet3, and a position display sheet2. In the capsule endoscope1, a imaging unit for picking up the images of the insides of an subject100, and a magnet are contained in a casing. The capsule endoscope sends a radio signal containing information of the images of the insides of the subject100to outside the capsule endoscope. The permanent magnet3generates a magnetic field for application to the capsule endoscope1in liquid Lq1having been introduced into the subject100and changes at least one of a position and a posture of the capsule endoscope1by the magnetic field. The position display sheet2visually presents an approaching position of the subject100that the permanent magnet3approaches to generate a magnetic field.
