Patent Images
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a sensor capable of travel within a body and of imaging tissue within the body; and
electronics, communicatively coupled to the sensor, comprising a sensor engine capable of receiving an image of tissue from the sensor, an image engine capable of determining a correlation between the received image and an image of abnormal tissue in a database, and an alarm engine capable of outputting information to an operator of the apparatus based on the determination.

Abstract
An endoscope is communicatively coupled to electronics that receive images of tissue from the endoscope and determine a correlation between the received images and images of normal and abnormal tissues in a database. Based on the determined correlation, an operator of the endoscope is notified of the correlation and the electronics can cause the endoscope to act accordingly (e.g., biopsy abnormal tissue).
