Abstract
Endoscopic image analysis, endoscopic procedure analysis, and/or component control systems, methods and techniques are disclosed that can analyze images of an endoscopic system and/or affect an endoscopic system to enhance operation, user and patient experience, and usability of image data and other case data.
Claims22
A component of an endoscopic system comprising:
- one or more circuits to:
- receive image data of a present view of an area to be addressed, the image data provided by an endoscope configured to access an area to be addressed;
- process the image data, utilizing a neural network, to determine a characteristic of the present view, the neural network configured by:
- receiving previous image data comprising previous endoscopic images;
- receiving indications of characteristics of the previous images;
- and
- updating, using machine learning and based on the previous endoscopic images and the indications, the neural network to automatically determine the characteristic of the present view;
- and
- adjust operation of a medium management system according to the characteristic of the present view, the medium management system to manage a viewing medium at an area to be addressed.

A component of an endoscopic system comprising:
- one or more circuits to:
- receive image data of a present view of an area to be addressed, the image data provided by an endoscope configured to access an area to be addressed;
- process the image data, utilizing a neural network, to determine an adjustment to operation of the endoscopic system, the neural network configured by:
- receiving previous image data comprising previous endoscopic images;
- receiving indications of adjustments to operation of the medium management system according to the previous images;
- and
- updating, using machine learning and based on the previous endoscopic images and the indications, the neural network to automatically determine the adjustment to operation of the endoscopic system;
- and
- adjust operation of the endoscopic system according to the adjustment to operation determined by processing the image data.
6 more elements
A component of an endoscopic system comprising:
- an interface to couple to a medium management system that is to manage a viewing medium at an area to be visualized that is inside a body of a patient;
- an imager interface to couple to one of an imager or an image processing component to which the imager can couple, the imager interface to receive image data, the imager to capture image data of a view provided by an endoscope configured to access the area to be addressed, the endoscope to provide a user a view of the area to be addressed;
- one or more processors to:
- receive, via the imager interface, the image data of a view provided by the endoscope;
- process the image data, using one or more machine learning algorithms, to automatically determine a characteristic of the view provided by the endoscope;
- and
- adjust operation of the medium management system as the characteristic of the view indicates the view can be enhanced.
