System and Method for Displaying Annotated Capsule Images

摘要

A method and system for displaying images captured by an in vivo imaging device are disclosed. Embodiments according to the present invention display image sequence data in a first display area. When a first annotated image is displayed in the first display area, a first thumbnail image in a second display area corresponding to the first annotated image is replaced to indicate an occurring correspondence between the first annotated image and the first thumbnail image corresponding to the first annotated image being displayed. In one embodiment, the method further comprises displaying the first thumbnail image in the second display area when one other image of the image sequence data is displayed in the first display area after the first annotated image is displayed.

主权项

1. A method for displaying images captured by an in vivo imaging device on a display device, the method comprising:
receiving image sequence data and associated annotation information related to one or more annotated images of the image sequence data, wherein the image sequence data are captured with the in vivo imaging device in a body lumen; displaying the image sequence data in a first display area as a video; if none of the annotated images corresponding to one or more thumbnail images is being displayed in the first display area, displaying at least one of said one or more thumbnail images in a second display area, wherein said one or more thumbnail images correspond to said one or more annotated images of the image sequence data; and if a first annotated image corresponding to a first thumbnail image is displayed in the first display area, displaying said one or more thumbnail images by changing the first thumbnail image in the second display area to indicate an occurring correspondence between the first annotated image and the first thumbnail image.
