Graphical User Interface for In-Vivo Imaging

Abstract

A graphical user interface is provided which allows the user to perform numerous operations suitable for analysis of in-vivo images within a single display screen or a single window. Using the in-vivo GUI, the user may create and manipulate analysis tools such as rectangle and ellipse tools to define regions of interest and perform various measurements on an in-vivo image. In addition, the GUI allows the user to store measurement results in a dated electronic notebook, display testing information, manipulate image presentation and print while maintaining view of the image.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for analyzing a region of interest on an image presented on a display, the method comprising:
 defining a region of interest on the image by selecting a region of interest tool from a user interface presented on the display such that the region of interest tool and the image are concurrently displayed on the display, wherein the image comprises an external representation of an object superimposed with a light representation, the light representation corresponding to the location and magnitude of electro-magnetic radiation emitted from the object; and   calculating a property of the image within the region of interest.
