First Claim
Patent Images
1. A digital image processing method for real-time automatic abnormality detection of in vivo images, comprising the steps of:
- a) forming an examination bundlette of a patient that includes real-time captured in vivo images;
b) processing the examination bundlette;
c) automatically detecting one or more abnormalities in the examination bundlette based on predetermined criteria for the patient; and
d) signaling an alarm provided that the one or more abnormalities in the examination bundlette have been detected.

Abstract
A digital image processing method for real-time automatic abnormality detection of in vivo images, comprising the steps of: acquiring images using an in vivo video camera system; forming an in vivo video camera system examination bundlette; transmitting the examination bundlette to proximal in vitro computing device(s); processing the transmitted examination bundlette; automatically identifying abnormalities in the transmitted examination bundlette; and setting off alarming signals to a local site provided that suspected abnormalities have been identified.
