Abstract
An endoscopic system includes an endoscopic imager configured to capture images of a target site within a living body and a processor configured to determine one or more image metrics for each one of a plurality of image frames captured over a time span, analyze changes in the image metrics over the time span, and determine a turbidity metric for the target site based on the analyzed changes in the image metrics.
