Abstract

The subject matter discloses a medical imaging device, comprising a rigid housing, at least two camera units located within said rigid housing, capturing images of different directions of view and a maneuver mechanism configured to change the physical orientation of a camera of the at least two camera units

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A medical imaging device, comprising:
 a rigid housing;   at least two camera units located within said rigid housing, capturing images of different directions of view;   a maneuver mechanism configured to change the physical orientation of a camera of the at least two camera units.   
     
     
         2 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least two camera units comprise a front camera unit and a lateral camera unit. 
     
     
         3 . The medical imaging device of  claim 2 , wherein the maneuvering mechanism maneuvers the lateral camera unit to capture a field of view at least partially overlapping with a field of view captured by the front camera unit. 
     
     
         4 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least two camera units comprise a front camera unit and two lateral camera units. 
     
     
         5 . The medical imaging device of  claim 4 , wherein the maneuvering mechanism maneuvers the two lateral camera units, such that each of the two lateral camera units captures a field of view at least partially overlapping with a field of view captured by the front camera. 
     
     
         6 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein a camera unit of the at least two camera units is located in a camera compartment, located in a vicinity of an aperture in the rigid housing. 
     
     
         7 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein the maneuver mechanism is connected to a hinge connected to a camera unit of the at least two camera units, wherein rotating the hinge results in changing the camera's direction of view. 
     
     
         8 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein the maneuver mechanism is connected to two or more hinges connected to two or more camera units, simultaneously rotating the two or more hinges, thereby simultaneously changing the two or more camera's direction of view. 
     
     
         9 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein the maneuver mechanism comprises a pulley controlled from outside the patient's body. 
     
     
         10 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein the maneuver mechanism comprises an adjusting rod sliding in the rigid housing. 
     
     
         11 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein the maneuver mechanism comprises a mechanism for locking and unlocking a camera unit's movement. 
     
     
         12 . The medical imaging device of  claim 6 , further comprising two or more lids configured to cover the two or more openings. 
     
     
         13 . The medical imaging device of  claim 12 , wherein the two or more lids are transparent. 
     
     
         14 . The medical imaging device of  claim 12 , wherein the two or more lids comprise light filters. 
     
     
         15 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein the maneuver mechanism is controlled by a user, wherein the device further comprises a control unit. 
     
     
         16 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein the maneuver mechanism is controlled by a software algorithm, wherein the device comprises an input unit configured to receive properties used by the software algorithm to maneuver the two or more camera units. 
     
     
         17 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein the maneuver mechanism has a notification element to notify the user about the camera's direction of view. 
     
     
         18 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein the rigid element is made of a single rigid sheet of material. 
     
     
         19 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein said maneuver mechanism is physically connected to the at least two camera units. 
     
     
         20 . A method for producing a medical imaging device, comprising:
 receiving a specific medical procedure imaging requirement, said requirement comprises a field of view defined by a distance and direction of an object from a tip of the medical imaging device;   locating at least two camera units within a rigid housing of the medical imaging device;   positioning at least two camera units such that the within at least two camera units capture the field view when located in the medical imaging device;   affixing the at least two camera units to its physical location.
