Abstract

A mobile endoscopic video system (100) includes a case body (110) that includes a light source (1710), circuitry used for endoscopic imaging, a first port (530) that allows communication between the circuitry used for endoscopic imaging and a camera head (1003), a second port (526) that receives a light guide (905) able to guide light from the light source (1710) to a scope assembly (1015) coupled to the camera head (1003), and a third port (800). The mobile endoscopic video system (100) further includes a display (500) mounted on the case body (110) and able to receive image data from the third port (800) of the case body, display images based on the image data, and fold onto the case body (110) for system transport.
