A system to facilitate performing an endoscopic procedure comprising:
- an endoscope to provide a user a view of an area to be visualized that is inside a body of a patient;
- a camera to capture image data of the area to be visualized;
- a medium management system to manage a viewing medium at the area to be visualized;
- an image analysis engine to:

An endoscopic image analysis and control system comprising:
- a medium management system interface to operably couple to a medium management system that is to provide a viewing medium to an area to be addressed that is inside a body of a patient;
- a camera interface to couple to a camera 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 the view of the area to be addressed;
- a memory to store image data;
- one or more processors to:
- receive, via the camera interface, the image data of the view provided by the endoscope;
- process the image data to automatically determine a characteristic of the view through the endoscope;
- adjust operation of the medium management system, via the medium management system interface, as the characteristic of the view indicates the view of the area to be visualized can be enhanced.
