Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Subjects, having clear understanding of the potential benefits and risks of this study, must be capable and voluntarily willing to enter the study and give written informed consent. 2. Male or female subjects aged 18 to 75 years old, inclusive with 18 and 75. 3. Subjects require magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy for various circumstances including but not limited to following: a) Subjects require health checkup of the upper gastrointestinal tract (including esophagus, stomach, duodenum); b) Subjects, who present with symptoms such as abdominal distension, epigastric pain, acid regurgitation, belching, require esophagogastroduodenoscopy; c) Subjects being examined for drug-related gastric mucosal damage, such as anticoagulant drugs or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; d) Follow-ups for certain stomach conditions, such as esophageal and fundic varices, chronic atrophic gastritis, post-clinical treatment of peptic ulcers or post-endoscopic resection of esophageal or gastric polyps; e) Follow-ups after partial gastrectomy or endoscopic microinvasive operations; f) Subjects exhibiting abnormalities suggested on other imaging tests, such as abdominal CT scan or barium fluoroscopy; g) High-risk Subjects over forty years old with family histories of esophageal or gastric malignancy require annual esophagogastroduodenoscopy; h) Subjects go through screenings of gastric cancer. 4. Eligible subjects must have good communication with investigators and comply with the protocol requirements.
