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.
Claims24
An endoscopic procedure analysis system comprising:
- a data capture engine to capture endoscopic case data at intervals during an endoscopic case, the endoscopic case data including image analysis data generated from analysis of one or more images by an image analysis engine, the one or more images from image data captured by a camera of a view provided by an endoscope of an endoscopic system during the endoscopic case, the analysis including identification of one or more characteristics of the one or more images;
- and
- an endoscopic procedure analysis engine to:
- access a set of data from stored endoscopic case data captured by the data capture engine for one or more endoscopic procedures;
- analyze the set of data;
- and
- generate additional data based on the analysis of the set of data.
4 more elements
An endoscopic procedure analysis component comprising:
- an image data interface to couple to an endoscopic system to receive endoscopic image data captured by a camera of the endoscopic system during an endoscopic procedure performed utilizing the endoscopic system, the image data of a view provided by an endoscope of the endoscopic system, the endoscope to access an area to be visualized within a patient;
- an image analysis engine to:
- analyze one or more images from the endoscopic image data to identify one or more characteristics of each of the one or more images;
- and
- generate image analysis data including the one or more characteristics of each of the one or more images;
- a data capture engine to capture endoscopic case data at intervals during the endoscopic procedure, the endoscopic case data including the image analysis data;
- and
- an endoscopic procedure analysis engine to:
- access an aggregate of endoscopic case data for one or more endoscopic procedures;
- analyze a set of data from the aggregate of endoscopic case data utilizing one or more algorithms that consider characteristics of images in the image analysis data;
- and
- derive additional data based on the analysis of the set of data.
