The present invention relates to a system and method of obtaining video images from inside a living body and displaying the images outside the body by interconnecting a video camera extension to a display-containing control unit with a flexible interconnector; inserting the camera extension into the body, wherein the camera extension has a scanned-camera-beam emitter and a reflected-light-collector; illuminating portions of the body with a scanned camera beam from the scanned-camera-beam emitter, causing reflections off the portions of the body; collecting reflection information with the reflected-light-collector and transferring the reflection information through the flexible interconnector to the display system; and displaying the images with the control unit, whereby a relatively inexpensive camera extension with improved depth of field and resolution can be inserted into extremely small openings to generate real-time images of internal body parts.
