1. A method for displaying frames from an in-vivo image stream, the image stream comprising a series of frames captured in-vivo in a chronological order, said method comprising:

  • selecting a plurality of subsets of frames from the in-vivo image stream for display across a series of time slots;

    for each subset, assigning at least one score to each frame of the subset based on a degree of variation between a predetermined criterion of each frame and a predetermined criterion of a reference frame;

    displaying, using a monitor, subsets of the selected plurality of subsets of frames from the in-vivo image stream across a series of time-sequential slots as a multi-frame image stream, by displaying image frames of a different subset of the selected plurality of subsets of frames substantially simultaneously in each of the time-sequential slots, wherein the frames of the displayed subset of frames are positioned spatially in order of ascending or descending degree of variation based on the at least one score assigned thereto; and

    adjusting the size of at least one of the frames displayed based on the assigned score.
