Abstract
A system and method for detection of colorimetric abnormalities within a body lumen includes an image receiver for receiving images from within the body lumen. Also included are a transmitter for transmitting the images to a receiver, and a processor for generating a probability indication of presence of colorimetric abnormalities on comparison of color content of the images and at (east one reference value.
Claims55
A method for detecting abnormalities in-vivo, the method comprising the steps of:
- analyzing an image for at least one spectral characteristic;
- and
- creating an abnormality determination based on the analysis.
A system for detecting abnormalities in-vivo, the system comprising:
- an image receiver means for receiving images;
- an analysis means for analyzing an image for at least one spectral characteristic and for making an abnormality determination based on the analysis.
A system for detecting abnormalities in-vivo, the system comprising:
- an image receiver module capable of receiving images;
- an analysis module capable of analyzing an image for at least one spectral characteristic and making an abnormality determination based on the analysis.
A method for calculation of a reference value for tissue, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving at least a first image and a second image from within a body lumen;
- selecting blocks of pixels within said images based on colorimetric parameters;
- averaging said colorimetric parameters of said selected blocks of pixels of said at least first and second images;
- and
- filtering said calorimetric parameters, thereby obtaining a reference value for tissue.
A swallowable capsule for detecting colorimetric abnormalities in a gastrointestinal tract, the capsule comprising:
- an image-receiver for receiving images from said gastrointestinal tract;
- and
- a processor for generating a probability indication for presence of colorimetric abnormalities by comparing color content of said images to at least one reference value.
An apparatus for determining calorimetric abnormalities within a body lumen, said apparatus comprising:
- an image-receiver capable of receiving images from a body lumen;
- a spectral analyzer capable of determining color content of said images;
- and
- a processor capable of generating a probability indication for presence of an abnormal condition by comparing said color content to at least one reference value.
A system for detection of a calorimetric abnormality within the gastrointestinal tract, said system comprising:
- a swallowable capsule having an in-vivo imager for obtaining images from within said body lumen;
- a transmitter capable of transmitting said images to a receiver;
- and
- a processor capable of generating a probability indication of presence of blood based on comparison of color content of said received images and at least one reference value.
A method for detecting abnormalities in-vivo, the method comprising the steps of:
- analyzing an image stream for at least one spectral characteristic;
- creating an abnormality determination based on the analysis;
- and
- presenting to a user the abnormality determination.
An apparatus for determining colorimetric abnormalities in-vivo, said apparatus comprising:
- an image-receiver capable of receiving images;
- and
- a processor capable of analyzing color content of said images, generating a an abnormality indication for the presence of an abnormal condition and presenting to a user an abnormality diagnosis.
