Abstract
The present specification describes an endoscopy display system including an endoscope with a distal tip having at least three image capturing components, and a handle with an actuator that, when activated, generates a video processing command; a controller including a video processing system adapted to transmit commands to the three image capturing components and receive an image feed from each of said three image capturing components; and a display system, including at least one monitor that concurrently receives and concurrently visually displays each of said processed image feeds, where the video processing system is adapted to process each of said image feeds in accordance with the video processing command to cause at least one of changing a position of, zooming into or out of; recording; freezing; highlighting; or superimposing a navigation indicator upon the at least one of the processed image feeds.

49. An endoscopy display system comprising:
-
an endoscope comprising a distal tip, wherein said distal tip has at least three image capturing components, and a handle, wherein said handle has at least one actuator that, when activated, generates a video processing command; a controller external to said endoscope, wherein said controller comprises a video processing system adapted to transmit commands to said three image capturing components and receive an image feed from each of said three image capturing components; and a display system, wherein said display system comprises at least one monitor that concurrently receives each of said processed image feeds from the video processing system and concurrently visually displays each of said processed image feeds and wherein said video processing system is adapted to process each of said image feeds in accordance with the video processing command to cause at least one of; a position of each of said processed image feeds on the at least one monitor to change; a zoom into only one of said three processed image feeds; a recording of only one of said three processed image feeds; a recording of all three of said three processed image feeds; a freezing of only one of said three processed image feeds; a freezing of all three of said three processed image feeds; a highlighting of only one of said three processed image feeds;
ora superimposing of a navigation indicator on only one of said three processed image feeds. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
