System and method for displaying motility events in an in vivo image stream

摘要

A system and method may analyse and display intestinal motility events, based on an image stream captured by an in vivo imaging device. According to some embodiments, the system includes a storage unit to store image frames from the image stream, a processor to select a strip of pixels from a plurality of image frames of the image stream and to align the selected strips adjacently to form a motility events bar, and a visual display unit for displaying the motility events bar to a user.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for display of intestinal motility events in an image stream captured by an in vivo imaging device, the method comprising:
receiving an image stream captured by the in vivo device, the image stream comprising image frames, each image frame comprising a plurality of image pixels; detecting a predetermined feature in each image frame of at least a subset of the image stream; selecting a strip of pixels from each image frame of the at least subset of the image stream, such that the strip of pixels passes through the detected feature in each image frame; aligning the selected strips adjacently to form a motility events bar; and displaying the motility events bar on a visual display unit.
