    • A reduced area imaging device is provided for use in a wide variety of devices including medical or dental instruments such as an endoscope. In one configuration of the imaging device, the image sensor is placed remote from the remaining circuitry. In another configuration, all of the circuitry to include the image sensor is placed in a stacked fashion at the same location. In a first embodiment of the invention, the entire imaging device can be placed at the distal tip of an endoscope. In a second embodiment, the image sensor is remote from the remaining circuitry according to the first configuration, and wherein a control box can be provided which communicates with the image sensor and is placed remotely from the enodscope. In another embodiment, the imaging device can be incorporated in the housing of a standard medical camera which is adapted for use with traditional rod lens endoscopes. In yet another embodiment, the imaging device can be wholly incorporated within the endoscope by placing the image sensor and timing and control circuitry within the distal tip of the endoscope, and placing the remaining processing circuitry within the handle of the endoscope. In any of the embodiments, the image sensor may be placed alone on a first circuit board, or timing and control circuits may be included on the first circuit board containing the image sensor. One or more video processing boards can be stacked in a longitudinal fashion with respect to the first board, or the video processing boards may be placed in the control box or in the handle of the endoscope. The imaging device may be further enhanced by including charge integration capability. Accordingly, the imaging device can be defined as a CMOS-CID device wherein a user may select an appropriate integration period in order to enhance the viewed image to a desired level of brightness. Particularly in fluorescence guided endoscopy and fluorescence assisted surgery, the ability to vary and select particular charge integration periods improves these processes.
    • 提供减小面积的成像装置用于包括诸如内窥镜的医疗或牙科仪器的各种装置中。 在成像装置的一个配置中,图像传感器被放置成远离剩余的电路。 在另一种配置中,包括图像传感器的所有电路都以相同的位置叠放。 在本发明的第一实施例中,整个成像装置可以放置在内窥镜的远端。 在第二实施例中,图像传感器根据第一配置远离剩余的电路,并且其中可以提供与图像传感器通信并远离显示器的控制箱。 在另一个实施例中,成像装置可以并入适用于传统杆状透镜内窥镜的标准医疗照相机的壳体中。 在另一个实施例中,通过将图像传感器和定时和控制电路放置在内窥镜的远侧末端内,并且将剩余的处理电路放置在内窥镜的手柄内,成像装置可以完全并入内窥镜内。 在任何实施例中,图像传感器可以单独放置在第一电路板上,或者定时和控制电路可以包含在包含图像传感器的第一电路板上。 一个或多个视频处理板可以相对于第一板以纵向方式堆叠,或者视频处理板可以放置在控制箱中或内窥镜的手柄中。 可以通过包括电荷积分能力来进一步增强成像装置。 因此,成像装置可以被定义为CMOS-CID装置,其中用户可以选择合适的积分周期,以将观看图像增强到期望的亮度水平。 特别是在荧光引导内窥镜检查和荧光辅助手术中,改变和选择特定电荷积分期的能力改善了这些过程。
