An intra-subject position display system for displaying a position of an
intra-subject device, which is introduced into a subject and moves
therein, wherein a relative position of the intra-subject device to an
outer surface of the subject is detected and displayed. The position of
the intra-subject device is displayed in a relation with the outer
surface of the subject. Thereby, it is possible to easily determine in
which site of the subject the intra-subject device exists. The present
invention is effective to recognize a position of, for example, a capsule
type endoscope or a test capsule therefor in the subject (e.g., a human
body). To recognize the outer surface of the subject, for example, a
plurality of radio devices are arranged on the outer surface of the
subject and their radio signals are analyzed.
