Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a medical imaging device attachment with onboard sensor array and computational processing unit, which can be adapted to and reversibly attached to multiple models of binocular indirect ophthalmoscopes (“BIOs”), enabling simultaneous or time-delayed viewing and collaborative review of photographs or videos from an eye examination. The invention also claims a method for photographing and integrating information associated with the images, videos, or other data generated from the eye examination.

Claim (Index 21):
The imaging device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more computer processing unit allows for optical- and/or sensor-assisted algorithmic techniques chosen from one or more of the following:\n a. focus stacking; b. inverting or reorienting the one or more electronic still and/or video images; c. removing or reducing glare or visual occluding elements from the electronic still and/or video images; d. automatic capturing of the one or more electronic still and/or video images when a retina, an optic nerve, and/or other portion of an eye is detected and in focus; e. comparing the one or more electronic still and/or video images captured by the one or more camera with a library of images to detect which eye is being examined, detect an optic nerve, retinal vasculature, macula, or retinal periphery, and/or detect abnormal features of an eye being examined; f. software-selectable focusing planes; g. expanded depth of field imaging; h. region of interest-based focusing; i. exposure and focus controlling to ensure proper focus and exposure without or with minimal user intervention in routine clinical examination settings; j. construction of a 3-dimensional view(s) of an eye and/or ocular structure; k. construction of a high dynamic range image(s) of an eye and/or ocular structure; l. automatic montaging of overlapping adjacent electronic still and/or video images for more complete representation of a retina, fundus, and/or other portion of an eye; and/or m. electronic annotation of observations.
