Method and System for Correlating Image and Tissue Characteristic Data
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for screening data from a capsule endoscope comprising the steps of:
- capturing images of living tissue from a body lumen,generating data values based on detecting a first characteristic of the living tissue proximate said tissue in said captured images, andcorrelating the respective data values with the respective captured images.

Abstract
Capsule type endoscopes generate large amounts of in-vivo image data that requires review and analysis by a doctor or clinician. By not reviewing the images gathered from healthy tissue, and only focusing on images indicating potential abnormalities, the time it takes to review the data can be greatly reduced. By correlating the tissue images with a characteristic known to indicate a potential abnormality, only the suspect images need to be reviewed.
