CHICAGO, June 13 (Reuters) - Given Imaging Ltd. (GIVN.O: Quote, Profile, Research) on Tuesday said it received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for an endoscopy device that allows physicians to view real-time images from a tiny disposable camera ingested by the patient.

Real-time viewing via a handheld device of images from the company's disposable PillCam video capsule is intended to improve physician readings of esophageal and small bowel procedures, the company said.
