First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image review and navigation system comprising:
- a workstation having a graphical computer interface that displays a panoramic image constructed from a plurality of in-vivo diagnostic images of an internal organ captured by an in-vivo imager;
CHARACTERIZED IN THATthe panoramic in-vivo diagnostic image is a composite of a plurality of constituent images combined wherein more than one constituent-image subset contains a circumference about the organ'"'"'s inner surface.

19. A method of reviewing and navigating images captured of an internal organ by an in-vivo imager said method comprising the computer implemented steps of:
-
combining a plurality of constituent images wherein more than one constituent-image subset contains a circumference about the organ'"'"'s inner surface; and displaying the composite panoramic image on a computer workstation having a graphical computer interface. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32, 36)

37. In an imaging review and navigation system employing a computer implemented graphical user interface for displaying a diagnostic composite panoramic image, a method of estimating the distance between two object locations within said image comprising the steps of:
-
determining a location-dependent image magnification within the composite image displayed; determining an integration of the inverse of the magnification along a curve between one object location and the other; and producing the distance which results from the integration. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40)

46. In an imaging review and navigation system employing a computer implemented graphical user interface for displaying a diagnostic composite panoramic image of an internal organ, a method of annotating said image comprising the steps of:
-
designating a location within the composite image that corresponds to a location within the internal organ; entering text; and producing a data base that associates textual entries with the corresponding indicated locations within the internal organ. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48)
