Provided is an endoscope having a tip at a distal section thereof, the tip includes a plurality of imaging units, at least one of the imaging units includes at least two optical lens assemblies and at least one optical sensor associated with the at least two optical lens assemblies, wherein each optical lens assembly has a different depth of field, thereby allowing to obtain a multi-focal image of a body cavity. Further provided are systems comprising the endoscope and methods of using the same in various endoscopic procedures.

Disclosed is an endoscope system, which comprises an endoscope, the endoscope having at its distal end multiple cameras each having a different field of view (FOV). The system also comprises an image processing box adapted to receive images of different FOVs from the multiple cameras and process the image to form a consolidated image covering 360-degree view of areas surrounding the distal end using the received images of different FOVs and image-stitching techniques.

Devices and methods for treating rhinitis are provided. An integrated therapy and imaging device is provided for single handheld use. The device may have a hollow elongated cannula, a therapeutic element coupled to a distal portion of the cannula, an imaging assembly coupled to the cannula to provide visualization of the therapeutic element, and an articulating region operably coupled to the imaging assembly to articulate the imaging assembly. The imaging assembly may be articulated so as to translate vertically, laterally, axially, and/or rotationally.

There is provided herein, an electronic circuit board assembly for a tip section of a multiple viewing elements endoscope, the assembly including a base board configured to carry a first metal frame to support a front looking viewing element and a second metal frame to support a side looking viewing element; and a flexible illumination circuit board comprising a front foldable panel configured to carry three sets of front illuminators for essentially illuminating the field of view (FOV) of the front looking viewing element, and a side foldable panel configured to carry a set of side illuminators for essentially illuminating the field of view (FOV) of the side looking viewing element.

Single viewpoint panoramic imaging attachments for a colonoscope are disclosed that are compact in size and provide 360-degree side and rear-views in a single image. One panoramic attachment assembly includes a plurality of micro-imaging subsystems that are positioned around a central opening. Each micro-imaging subsystem includes a reflector to receive light that is reflected from a surrounding tissue, an imaging lens, and a detector to generate signals corresponding to one section of a panoramic image of the surrounding tissue. The micro-imaging subsystems are arranged to all have a common view point, and are configured to collectively form a full 360-degree image of the surrounding tissue.

An oral imaging device includes a base, a camera module, and a plurality of light source modules. The base includes a camera component, an opening surface, and a plurality of light source components connected to two sides of the camera component. A slant angle exists between each light source component and the camera component. The slant angle is a non-right angle. The opening surface is substantially parallel to the camera component. The camera module is located on the camera component and faces the opening surface. The plurality of light source modules each are located on each light source component and configured to project a light beam onto the opening surface. A center ray of the light beam passes through a center point of the opening surface.

An endoscope system includes a shaft portion having a proximal end and a distal end and defining a longitudinal axis. The system also includes a first image receiver coupled to the shaft portion. The first image receiver is directed toward a first direction to receive an image of a first portion of the interior of a lumen. The system also includes a second image receiver coupled to the shaft portion. The second image receiver is directed toward a second direction to receive an image of a second portion of the interior of the lumen. The first direction is generally opposite the second direction. The system further includes a monitor, wherein the image of the first portion and the image of the second portion are displayed simultaneously on the monitor.

An endoscope pipe with a central, elongated observation window on the distal end, whereby several light outlet openings for fiberoptic end surfaces are positioned close to the observation window for illuminating the angle area observed through the observation window and the light outlet openings are positioned asymmetrically in relation to the longitudinal extension of the observation window and/or the fiberoptic end surfaces are held in the light outlet openings in such a way that light is beamed from the fiberoptic end surfaces into the angle area in various directions.

The disclosure relates to an endoscopic system. The system may include a single optical fiber. The system may further include a light source which transmits light into the single optical fiber. An image sensor may be provided within the endoscopic system and disposed at a distal end of the single optical fiber. The endoscopic system may be additionally fitted with a diffuser on the distal end of the single optical fiber which outputs a light cone that is broader than an output of the single optical fiber without the diffuser.

A balloon is attachably and detachably mounted on an insertion part of an endoscope. A distal end part provided at a distal end of the insertion part includes an image pickup optical system, an illumination optical system, and a beam light-emitting unit. A subject is irradiated with measurement light by the beam light-emitting unit. It is possible to recognize the position of a spot from a subject image, and to measure an observation distance to an object to be observed, the size of the object to be observed, and the like.
