Claim 0:
1. A medical device, comprising:
an imaging device configured to detect an image from inside a body;
a plurality of light sources configured to illuminate different regions within the body; and
a control device having a processor configured to execute instructions that control the plurality of light sources by:
determining, based on the image detected by the imaging device, an illumination of a first region within the body by a first light source;
determining, based on the image detected by the imaging device, an illumination of a second region within the body by a second light source;
using a threshold to determine whether to vary a first characteristic of light output by the first light source to enhance illumination of the first region independent of a second characteristic of light output by the second light source to enhance illumination of the second region;
comparing a difference in illumination between the first region and the second region relative to the threshold; and
varying the first characteristic of light in response to the difference in illumination between the first region and the second region exceeding the threshold to change the illumination of the first region.
