<p>An electronic endoscopic system and method where the electronics optics (15) and light source (18) are included within the endoscopic body (11) is disclosed. The system provides color imaging information and is detachable, disposable and easily manufactured. The system uses non-synchronous imaging to allow practically unlimited exposure time variations and bufferred image transfer to display (25). The system eliminates the complexity of high resolution color endoscopy systems and allows the use of a less costly and smaller, full frame CCD which practically fits within an endoscopic body (11) useable within human surgical procedures. The system uses an imaging control by defining an optical path which light travels and controlling the light which is allowed to travel the path during the course of a discrete full color illumination. The system also provides an emergency shut-off and warning circuit to prevent electrical shock to a patient from system rupture or leakage.</p> |
