A wide field-of-view scanning endoscope for whole anal canal imaging

Abstract: Abstract:We report a novel wide field-of-view (FOV) scanning endoscope, the AnCam, which is based on contact image sensor (CIS) technology used in commercialized business card scanners. The AnCam can capture the whole image of the anal canal within 10 seconds with a resolution of 89 μm, a maximum FOV of 100 mm × 120 mm, and a depthof-field (DOF) of 0.65 mm at 5.9 line pairs per mm (lp/mm). We demonstrate the performance of the AnCam by imaging the entire anal canal of pigs and tracking the dynamics of acetowhi… Show more

“…The processed image was cropped, linearized, and digitally zoomed in and was compared to HRA images taken at the same time. Reproducible serial images, taken after successive removals and reinsertions of the device in the porcine model, were also demonstrated, as have been previously reported 10 .…”

“…Device development. The design, development, build, and initial testing of the device in an animal model have been reported 10 . In brief, the imaging device was designed and built to circumferentially image the lumen of the anal canal using the imaging principles adopted from those of commercial flatbed and business card scanners.…”

“…Wang et al developed a catadioptric endoscope objective with forward and side views [5]. Han et al developed a novel wide FOV scanning endoscope based on contact image sensor technology to scan the anal canal for 360° and obtain a cylindrical surface image of the canal [6]. Commercial endoscopes exist that can achieve 330° FOV by overlapping the FOV of several lenses located in the front and on the side of the endoscope distal tip (Fuse, EndoChoice, Inc., Alpharetta, Georgia), or even 360° FOV by incorporating a miniature omni-directional camera (Aer-O-Scope, GI-View, Israel).…”
