Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and structures providing accurate and easy to use size measurement of physiological features identified from endoscopic examination. In sharp contrast to the prior art, systems, methods, and structures according to the present disclosure employ structured light that advantageously enables size and/or distance information about lesions and/or other physiological features in a gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Advantageously, systems, methods, and structures according to the present disclosure are applicable to both capsule endoscopes and insertion endoscopes.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to endoscopy of body cavities, and more particularly to endoscopes and endoscopies that employ structured light to facilitate precise dimensional measurements of lesions or other features observed during such examinations. Background technique [0002] It is well known that endoscopy, including capsule endoscopy, enables clinicians to find and identify lesions and other physiological features in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Such capsule endoscopes are capsule-shaped (having a tubular body with end structures that give it a capsule shape) and can be passed through the throat and esophagus by spontaneous muscular action as food, drink, or other substances, is swallowed favorably or enters the stomach. From the stomach, the capsule travels through the intestinal tract and is subsequently expelled. Subsequent diagnosis often includes estimating the size of the lesion / feature, as the health risks posed by the l...
