Abstract
A device, system and method may enable the obtaining of in-vivo images or other data from within body lumens or cavities, such as images of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, where the data obtained at a variable bit rate may be transmitted at a constant bit rate. An in-vivo buffer or storage device may be used to store data prior to transmission.
