  • Patent number: 7486981
    Abstract: A system and method may allow displaying a plurality of image streams, where the image streams may be divided, for example into a number of selected subset couplet images which follow predetermined criteria. According to some embodiments, each couplet may be displayed simultaneously or substantially simultaneously. A workstation may accept the images acquired by, for example a capsule and may display the images on a monitor as a moving image.

  • Publication number: 20090023993
    Abstract: A method and system to display combined information about an in-vivo lumen using several in vivo devices as data sources. A method is provided for interfacing different in vivo devices and viewing integrated results, on a combined display, by receiving in vivo data of at least two in vivo sensing procedures and analyzing the in vivo data to produce the combined representation. The combined representation may be displayed to a user during the course of an in vivo sensing procedure, and the in vivo data of an in vivo sensing procedure may be received and/or analyzed to produce a combined representation in real time.

  • Publication number: 20080016120
    Abstract: A system for management of medical data, which includes an ingestible imaging capsule for capturing images in a patient's body and transmitting them to a receiving unit external to the patient's body. Transmitted image data that is received from the imaging capsule may be stored in the receiving unit and later downloaded to a work station for processing and analysis. A case management tool comprising a user interface allows a user to review and manage the analyzed data and additional data related to medical cases. A method for management of medical data includes finding updated data in medical archives, synchronizing associated cases in a case management database, summarizing the synchronized data and providing a user with the summarized data per case.

  • Publication number: 20080004532
    Abstract: A method and system for in-vivo sensing may transmit data that may identify or relate to the sensing device or a component within the device. The data that may identify the sensing device and the sensing data may be transmitted separately or in combination, for example, in a data block. The data that may identify or relate to the sensing device may be received, recorded, displayed, processed or used in any suitable way, for example, to verify, access or select compatible in-vivo sensing system components.

  • Publication number: 20070282164
    Abstract: A device and system for in-vivo sensing having a relatively heavy part and a relatively light part such that the heavy and light part may be temporarily attached in-vivo. Detachment of the heavy part may be provided at a predetermined location along a body lumen. The light part upon detachment of the heavy part may for example float within a body lumen.

  • Publication number: 20070255095
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed, which combine image data of a patient, such as images of the patient's GI tract, with rating mucosal damage. According to some embodiments of the present invention the system and method are able to assess a patient's GI tract condition, to monitor mucosal healing in a patient's GI tract, preferably, the small bowel (SB) mucosa and/or to differentiate between different pathological conditions. The system and method of the invention can provide a value or score arrived at by assigning a grade relating to one or more predetermined parameters.

  • Publication number: 20070073161
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for providing a scale to an anatomical object imaged by an in-vivo sensing device, including collecting an in-vivo image of the anatomical object, and applying a scale to the anatomical object, where the scale provides spatial measurements of the anatomical object. Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for providing spatial measurements of points approximating a spatial feature of an anatomical object imaged by an in-vivo sensing device, including collecting a set of points having an image of the anatomical object, accepting a subset of the set of points approximating the spatial feature of the anatomical object, and processing the subset for providing spatial measurements of the subset.
