Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods are provided for controlling lateral movement of a medical capsule system. A capsule housing is configured to be inserted into an anatomical structure of a patient. The multichannel tether is coupled to a rear of the capsule and includes at least one liquid exhaust channel conveying liquid to the capsule housing. The plurality of liquid exhaust ports are positioned around an outer circumference of the capsule housing and each configured to controllably expel liquid laterally from the capsule housing at varying rates to affect lateral movement of the capsule housing. 提供用于控制医疗胶囊系统的横向移动的系统和方法。胶囊壳体被构造成插入到患者的解剖结构中。多通道绳联接到胶囊的后部并包括向胶囊壳体输送液体的至少个液体排出通道。多个液体排出端口定位在胶囊壳体的外周向周围,并且每个被构造成以变化速率从所述胶囊壳体以可控制方式横向排出液体,从而影响所述胶囊壳体的横向移动。
