Abstract

There is provided herein a flexible electronic circuit board for a tip section of a multi-camera endoscope, the circuit board comprising a front camera surface configured to carry a forward looking camera, a first side camera surface configured to carry a first side looking camera, a second side camera surface configured to carry a second side looking camera, one or more front illuminator surfaces a configured to carry one or more front illuminators to essentially illuminate the FOV of the forward looking camera, one or more side illuminator surfaces configured to carry one or more side illuminators to essentially illuminate the FOV of the first side looking camera and one or more side illuminator surfaces configured to carry one or more side illuminators to essentially illuminate the FOV of the second side looking camera.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a multi-camera endoscope with a flexible electronic circuit board. Background technique [0002] Endoscopes have achieved universal recognition in the medical community because they provide a means for performing surgery with minimal trauma to the patient, while allowing the physician to view the patient's internal anatomy. Over the years, many endoscopes have been developed and classified according to specific applications, such as cystoscopes, colonoscopes, laparoscopes, upper gastrointestinal endoscopes, etc. The endoscope can be inserted into a natural opening in the body, or through an incision in the skin. [0003] An endoscope is usually an elongated tubular shaft, rigid or flexible, with a video camera or fiber optic lens assembly at its distal end. This shaft is attached to a handle, which sometimes includes an eyepiece for direct viewing. Viewing via an external screen is also usually possibl...
