| 1. A method for synchronizing a display of in vivo images from at least two image streams captured by an in vivo imaging device,
the method comprising:
accepting sequentially numbered images acquired by an in-vivo device disposed within a GI tract, the images forming at least
a first image stream obtained by a first imager and a second image stream obtained by a second imager;
selecting a sequential image pair from the first and second image streams respectively, a first of said sequential pair being
selected from the first image stream and a second of said sequential image pair being selected from the second image stream;
if a difference in times of capture between the first image and the second image is less than or equal to a pre-set time constant,
then displaying substantially simultaneously the sequential image pair; and
if the difference in time of capture between the first image and the second image is greater than the pre-set time constant,
then displaying only one image of said sequential image pair.
