Embodiment Construction

[0405] An aspect of some embodiments relates to an endoscope having a tip section equipped with two or more viewing elements. According to one embodiment, one of said viewing elements is located at the distal end of the tip section and points forward, and the remaining viewing elements are located more rearwardly in the tip section and point sideways.

[0406] According to another embodiment, one of said viewing elements is located at the distal (front) face of the tip section and points forward, the remaining viewing elements are located more rearwardly in the tip section and point sideways.

[0407] According to another embodiment, two or more viewing elements (e.g. three, four or more) are located near or at the distal end of the tip section and are directed sideways so that The field of view provided by these viewing elements covers front and side views. Even in such a configuration, according to some embodiments, there is no viewing element arranged at the distal (front)...

Abstract

The present specification is directed towards endoscopes, such as colonoscopes, that provide a broader field of view and allow extended access of surgical tools and also enable efficient packing of all necessary elements in the tip section, while maintaining their functionality. Also described are methods and systems for capturing and displaying still and video images using an endoscope corresponding to a left-side looking, a front-looking and a right-side looking viewing element of an endoscopic tip generated in a native aspect ratio.
