Abstract
A method and system to guide a medical device within a patient using image data, e.g., chemical image data, includes acquiring image data of a view region within the patient. A movable element of the medical device is guided, e.g., self-guided, based on the image data. For example, the image data may be analyzed to detect a target area within the view region, e.g., the target area having at least one characteristic that is different from other portions within the view region. The movable element may then be guided based on the detected target area.
