摘要:
A system for selecting images of an event indicator includes a processor and a memory storing instructions which, when executed, cause the system to: access images of a portion of a gastrointestinal tract captured by a capsule endoscopy device; for each of the images, access one or more scores indicating a presence of an event indicator; select seed images from among the images based on the one or more scores; deduplicate the seed images for images showing the same occurrence of the event indicator, where the deduplicating utilizes a consecutive-image tracker; and present the deduplicated seed images in a graphical user interface to display potential occurrences of the event indicator.

Embodiments of the invention are related to a system and method of controlling a display of image stream. The system may include a memory to store the image stream; the image stream may comprise a plurality of image frames. The system may further include a processor configured to execute the method. The moving image stream may be displayed to a user in an image stream display area of a screen and a frame rate control interface may be generated on a speed control area of the screen, such that the image stream display area is horizontally adjacent to the speed control area. An indication of a desired frame rate for displaying the image stream of the image frames may be received from the user, in that the frame rate may be selected according to a location of a pointing indicator in the speed control area.

Methods for capturing and transmitting images by an in-vivo device comprise operating a pixel array in a superpixel readout mode to capture probe image, for example, according to a time interval. Concurrently to capturing of each probe image, the probe image is evaluated alone or in conjunction with other probe image(s), and if it is determined that no event of interest is detected by the last probe image, or by the last few probe images, the pixel array is operated in the superpixel readout mode and a subsequent probe image is captured. However, if it is determined that the last probe image, or the last few probe images, detected an event of interest, the pixel array is operated in a single pixel readout mode and a single normal image, or a series of normal image, is captured and transmitted, for example, to an external receiver.

An ex-vivo communication module configured for communicating with a swallowable in-vivo device. The communication module comprises a receiving unit operating at a first frequency range and configured for receiving signals from the in-vivo device, and a transmitting unit operating at a second frequency range, different from the first frequency range and configured for transmitting signals to the in-vivo device. The transmitting unit is also configured for serving as a secondary receiving unit, receiving signals from the in-vivo device.

A helix antenna structure includes loop antennas and a multilayered printed circuit board including printed circuit board layers. Each printed circuit board layer includes a peripheral loop antenna and each adjacent two loop antennas are electrically connected by a connection bridge functioning as a monopole antenna. A selected printed circuit board layer physically and electrically accommodates a transmitter inside ‘its’ peripheral loop antenna, and it further includes a first antenna feeding line which is connected to the loop antenna that is disposed on the selected printed circuit board layer and electrically connectable to a first output terminal of the transmitter. A second antenna feeding line is disposed on another printed circuit board layer and electrically connected to its loop antenna and connectable to another output terminal of the transmitter. The two antenna feeding lines lie in a plane perpendicular to an axis of the printed circuit board after its folding.

A swallowable in-vivo device comprising a shell formed with at least one inlet extending across a shell wall and configured for allowing ingress of fluid at least into the shell; the shell accommodates therein a lateral flow (LF) arrangement configured for absorbing the fluid; the LF arrangement comprises a test zone configured for coming into contact, in-vivo, with a predetermined N substance present in the fluid or a compound comprising the substance, thereby causing a change in at least one property of the test zone; the shell further accommodates a sensor configured for sensing, in-vivo, the at least one property, at least when changed by interaction with the fluid; the LF arrangement has at least one curved segment, and at least one exposure portion juxtaposed with the inlet, configured for absorbing the fluid passing through the inlet into the shell.
摘要:
A device for cryotherapy treatment of gastrointestinal lesions includes a cooling member that may be attached to a first tube for pressurizing cryogenic fluid through the tube and into the cooling member through nozzles located at the distal end of the first tube. A second tube may be attached to the cooling member for evacuating the cryogenic fluid from within the cooling member, following the fluid's expansion once it exits the first tube. The cryotherapy device may be attached to an endoscope such that the first tube may be passed through the endoscope's working channel, while the second tube may be passed along the endoscope's circumference. The cryotherapy device may further comprise securing means attached to the first tube, for securing the first tube to the endoscope's working channel, thus preventing free rotation of the cryotherapy device within the endoscope, relative to the rotation of the endoscope. In addition, the securing means assist in maintaining a constant and known location of the nozzles relative to the distal end of the endoscope.
摘要:
Embodiments of the invention include a method and system for displaying an in vivo imaging procedure. The method includes receiving real-time image data captured by the capsule, and continuously generating an updated summarized color bar, said color bar comprising color strips and time scale marks. The color bar is calculated based on color values of received image data, and is updated continuously as new image data is received. The displayed time period is periodically updated, for example based on predetermined fixed time intervals, based on varying time intervals, or based on an accumulated amount of received image data. Other methods of determining the periodic updates may be used.
