Rigid medical surgery illuminating device

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

1 . A medical imaging device, comprising: a cylindrical shaped tube and at least three cameras, wherein at least two of the at least three cameras have an overlapping field of view; and wherein a position of at least one of the at least three cameras is static and non-movable, so as to maintain a predefined field of view during use. 
     
     
         2 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein the overlapping field of view can be viewed by a first of the at least three cameras in a first angle and by a second of the at least three cameras in a second angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the tube, wherein the first angle is smaller than the second angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the tube. 
     
     
         3 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein the first angle is 8 degrees and the second angle is 24 degrees. 
     
     
         4 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein an area defined by the field of view of one of the at least three cameras is configured to be changed by changing a focal point of the camera, changing the physical position of the camera, changing the distance of the objects captured by the camera, changing the direction of view captured by camera, broadening the boundaries of the field of view or any combination thereof. 
     
     
         5 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein the device comprise a mechanism configured to rotate at least one of the at least three cameras thereby enabling positioning the camera in a configuration providing desired boundaries of the field of view of the camera and wherein the mechanism is configured to fix the position of the camera in the desired position prior to use. 
     
     
         6 . The medical imaging device of  claim 5 , wherein the defining of the overlap between the field of view comprises defining an angle at which each camera views the overlap, and/or defining a width of the angle at which the overlap is viewed. 
     
     
         7 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein the medical imaging device is configured to transmit images of objects captured by the at least three cameras to a remote screen and/or processor. 
     
     
         8 . The medical imaging device of  claim 7 , wherein the remote processor is configured to determine or receive input pertaining to a closest point of the overlapping field of view captured by the at least two cameras. 
     
     
         9 . The medical imaging device of  claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine or receive input pertaining to a distance from the closest point to a distal end of the cylindrically shaped tube. 
     
     
         10 . The medical imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least three cameras comprise a front camera and a lateral camera. 
     
     
         11 . The medical imaging device of  claim 10 , wherein the at least three cameras comprise a front camera unit and two lateral cameras.
