    Abstract: An imaging capsule activating system includes a capsule containing a radiation source and an arrangement with the radiation source mounted thereon. The arrangement is configured to selectively allow emission of radiation from the radiation source. A blocking arrangement is configured to selectively block emission of radian from the radiation source. In a rest position, the emission of radiation from the arrangement is blocked. A movement arrangement configured to move the blocking arrangement relative to the arrangement. A controller operates the radiation source and the blocking arrangement. An activation coil is electrically coupled with the controller and has an initial configuration without current flow. An external activating coil receives the imaging capsule and is operable to inductively induce current flow in the activation coil within the capsule.
