ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides color images of tissue characteristics for determining the existence can location of tissue anomalies. An image of tissue is received, divided into pre-determined portions and accompanied by X and Y coordinates describeing the tissue relative to a subject. Characteristic data of the tissue is received for each portion of the image and is displayed by color according to characteristic data value. Characteristic data can also be determined and displayed for each portion of the image over multiple levels. Multiple images, one for each level, can be scrolled through for a common set of X and Y coordinates of tissue. Or, a three dimensional image is created, having respective levels displayed simultaneously, with color representative of the tissue characteristics for the entire depth of the tissue investigated. Additionally, color images are developed that compare and display differences in characteristic data of tissue over time.
