What is claimed is: 1. An in-vivo imaging device, said imaging device comprising an imaging module comprising a housing having a window, said housing enclosing an image sensor, an illumination source, and a transmitter, a removable functional module configured to be attached to said imaging module
What is claimed is: 1. An in-vivo imaging device, said imaging device comprising an imaging module comprising a housing having a window, said housing enclosing an image sensor, an illumination source, and a transmitter, a removable functional module configured to be attached to said imaging module and provide additional electrical power to said imaging module; wherein said housing includes an attachment mechanism to attach to, and to provide electrical contact with, the removable functional module, wherein the imaging module is configured to operate independently of the removable functional module; and wherein, when attached, the imaging module and the removable functional module together form a swallowable in vivo sensing device having a shape of a capsule and retaining said capsule shape at all times while in vivo. 2. The in-vivo imaging device of claim 1, wherein said imaging module is detachably attachable to said removable functional module. 3. The in-vivo imaging device of claim 1, wherein said attachment mechanism comprises a sealant. 4. The in-vivo imaging device of claim 1, wherein said imaging module communicates with said removable functional module through a wireless link. 5. The in vivo sensing device of claim 1, wherein said removable functional module comprises a power source. 6. The in vivo sensing device of claim 1, wherein said imaging module comprises a first in-vivo image sensor and said removable functional module comprises a second image sensor. 7. The in vivo sensing device of claim 1, wherein said removable functional module and said imaging module are sealed to prevent fluids from entering. 8. The in-vivo imaging device of claim 1, wherein said swallowable sensing device is autonomous. 9. The in vivo sensing device of claim 1, wherein one of said imaging module and said removable functional module comprises a male member, and the other of said imaging module and said removable functional module comprises a female member. 10. The in-vivo imaging module device of claim 1, wherein said attachment mechanism comprises a screw mechanism. 11. A swallowable in vivo sensing device comprising an imaging module and a removable functional module configured to be attached to one another, said imaging module comprising a housing having a window, said housing enclosing an image sensor, an illumination source, and a transmitter, wherein said housing includes an attachment mechanism to attach to, and to provide electrical contact with, the removable functional module, wherein the imaging module is configured to operate independently of the removable functional module, and said removable functional module providing additional electrical power to said imaging module; and wherein, when attached, the imaging module and the removable functional module together form a swallowable in vivo sensing device having a shape of a capsule and retaining said capsule shape at all times while in vivo. 12. The in-vivo sensing device of claim 11, wherein said imaging module is detachably attachable to said removable functional module. 13. The in-vivo sensing device of claim 11, wherein said attachment mechanism comprises a sealant. 14. The in-vivo sensing device of claim 11, wherein said imaging module communicates with said removable functional module through a wireless link. 15. The in-vivo sensing device of claim 11, wherein said removable functional module comprises a non-imaging sensor. 16. The in-vivo sensing device of claim 11, wherein said imaging module comprises a first in-vivo imager and said removable functional module comprises a second in-vivo imager. 17. The in-vivo sensing device of claim 11, wherein each of said removable functional module and said imaging module is sealed to prevent fluids from entering. 18. The in-vivo sensing device of claim 11, wherein said swallowable sensing device is autonomous. 19. The in-vivo sensing device of claim 11, wherein one of said imaging module and said removable functional module comprises a male member, and the other of said imaging module and said removable functional module comprises a female member. 20. The in vivo sensing device of claim 11, wherein said attachment mechanism comprises a screw mechanism.
