First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- an image processing module configured to;
receive image data of an internal region of interest from a device comprising a visualization sensor; and
compare the received image data with a reference comprising at least one of color descriptor data and anatomical descriptor data to make a determination as to whether an alert signal should be generated.

Abstract
Tissue visualization systems having image processing modules configured to generate an alert signal are provided. Image processing modules of systems of the invention are configured to receive image data of an internal region of interest. The image processing module is further configured to compare the received image data with a reference that includes at least one of color descriptor data and anatomical descriptor data to make a determination as to whether an alert signal should be generated. Also provided are methods of visualizing internal tissue of a subject using the tissue visualization systems.
