Abstract
An area of interest of a patient's organ may be identified based on the presence of a possible lesion during an endoscopic procedure. The location of the area of interest may then be tracked relative to the camera view being displayed to the endoscopist in real-time or near real-time during the endoscopic procedure. If the area of interest is visually marked on the display, the visual marking is moved with the area of interest as it moves within the camera view. If the area of interest moves outside the camera view, a directional indicator may be displayed to indicate the location of the area of interest relative to the camera view to assist the endoscopist in relocating the area of interest.
