System and method for displaying portions of in-vivo images
First Claim
1. A method for displaying portions of in vivo images, the method comprising:
- receiving a stream of in vivo images captured in a body lumen;
automatically selecting images which correspond to suspected pathology from the stream;
automatically cropping the selected images to remove portions of the selected image which do not comprise the suspected pathology and to obtain image portions of the selected images which comprise the suspected pathology;
wherein the automatic cropping is performed such that the suspected pathology comprises a greater portion of each of the image portions of the selected images than the suspected pathology comprises in each of the selected images; and
displaying the selected image portions arranged spatially in an array.

Abstract
A method and a system for displaying portions of in vivo images such as pathological or anatomical landmark portions of images, may include receiving a stream of in vivo images captured in a body lumen, and selecting relevant image portions such as suspected pathological image portions from the stream, based on one or more predetermined criteria. A spatial arrangement of the image portions may be determined, and the selected image portions may be resized to an appropriate size, and displayed in a rectangular or hexagonal array layout according to the determined spatial arrangement, such that rows and columns of selected image portions are adjacent to each other.
