Abstract
A novel method to monitor gastrointestinal transit of solid oral dosag e forms or nutrients is presented, providing a simultaneous recording of gastrointestinal motility of the traversed section. Based on the me asurement of the magnetic field of an ingested magnetized marker, its location is found by fitting a magnetic dipole field to the measured d ata.
