Abstract

The Self-Orienting Imaging Device and Methods of Use sense the orientation of the handheld imaging, and apply the rotational correction by rotating the image to be displayed. When a scanner is used, the scanning element in the scanner is adjusted, such that the eventual scanning direction remains unchanged referencing the subject anatomy. The self-orienting mechanism for the scanner may be implemented in hardware mechanisms.

Description

Background technique [0001] In otoscope imaging, hand-held imagers are often used. Different operators operate and position the handheld imager differently, depending on the subject's posture. Figure 1A Imager placement along the subject's superior-inferior axis is shown on the left, and along the subject's anterior-posterior axis is shown on the right. The dashed circle represents the anatomy being imaged, which is the same in both cases. When using digital imaging techniques, the captured image is usually displayed on a separate display such as Figure 1B shown. In this example, the actual image has a 90° rotation difference due to the different orientations of the imagers, as in Figure 1A and Figure 1B shown. Differences in orientation can also be easily understood by "rotating" the subject by holding the imager still. The rotated image can be confusing because the anatomically down direction is pointing to the left in the rotated image. [0002] Things get more co...
