Abstract
A system and method may identify pathologies such as red pathologies in in-vivo images. Candidate pathology regions may be identified by identifying red regions. Features indicative of the probability of pathology in candidate regions may be identified. An image score for an image may be identified based on one or more identified features, the image score indicative of existence in the image of at least one candidate region with high probability of pathology. Calculating an image score may include calculating a candidate score for at least one identified candidate region based on features, the candidate score indicative of the probability of pathology being imaged in said candidate region, where the image score corresponds to the candidate score of the candidate region with the highest probability of pathology in the image.
