Figure 1 This shows examples of the SmartPill and ROMs recording in a (A) healthy and (B) constipated subject. The healthy subject shows normal GET at 2.5 hours, normal SBTT at 5.3 hours, and normal CTT at 15.5 hours, and 4 ROMs on the day 2 radiograph. The constipated subject shows a delayed GET at 5.8 hours, normal SBTT at 4.3 hours, and delayed CTT at 80.25 hours. The day 2 radiograph shows the SmartPill and 24 ROMs and the day 5 radiograph shows that the SmartPill has been expelled but 10 ROMs remain.
