Abstract

A portable hand-held endoscopy system (24) adapted for interchangeable use with a variety of endoscopes The system includes an endoscope (26) having a first end and a second end, the first end having an eyepiece and the second end having a viewing end, the endoscope (26) further having a coupler (40) for coupling to a light source (50), and a battery operated unitary digital camera (28) having an optical input viewing screen (64), digital signal processor, memory with embedded software for processing data from the processor and for displaying an image on the viewing screen (64), and a coupler (40) having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end includes a connector for removably connecting to the eyepiece, and the second end is coupled to the optical input of the digital camera (28) In one embodiment, an endoscopic imaging system utilizing high speed data transfer and digital technology provides a portable, versatile, and inexpensive system (24) for viewing and recording images of internal organs of the human body Using a digital camera (28) with high speed data transfer lor endoscopic imaging eliminates the need for a camera control unit An endoscope (26) attaches directly to the camera with no modifications or additional devices required other than an endoscopic image coupler (40) A high speed data transfer connection cable (32) attaches to the digital camera enabling high speed transfer of the images to a computing device ( 30)
