Patent ID: 11395582

Abstract:
A medical imaging system, is formed of a lighting module, preferably using a single LED. The LED illuminates a reflection chamber, located to receive light from the LED, said reflection chamber terminating in a fiber interfacing surface. An optical fiber, connects to the fiber interfacing surface, and receives light therefrom when said LED is energized. The optical fiber has a first surface connected to the fiber interfacing surface, and has a second surface at an opposite end of the optical fiber from the first surface. A light guide, has a first end, optically coupled to the second end of said optical fiber, and the light guide directs light from the first end into a cone shaped surface at a second end, that directs light away from a center of the cone shaped surface into a hollow cylindrical shape of light, creating an illumination by the light at a distal end of the hollow cylindrical shape opposite the first end. A camera, mounted inside the light guide, within an inside of the cone shaped surface images the area illuminated by the light guide.
