Claim 14:
15. A medical device, comprising:
an imaging device configured to detect an image pattern;
a plurality of light sources configured to illuminate different regions inside a body; and
a control device having a processor configured to execute instructions that control the plurality of light sources by:
determining an illumination of each of the different regions inside the body by the plurality of light sources based on the image detected by the imaging device;
analyzing the illumination of each of the different regions relative to a threshold to determine whether to vary a characteristic of light output by one or more of the plurality of light sources to enhance the illumination of one or more of the corresponding regions illuminated by the one or more of the plurality of light sources;
comparing differences in the illumination between each of the different regions relative to the threshold; and
varying the characteristic of light output by one or more of the plurality of light sources in response to the difference in illumination between at least two or more different regions exceeding the threshold to change the illumination of one or more of the corresponding regions.
