Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023026074A1] An imaging device for capturing an image within a human body comprises an elongate mechanical arm and an imaging assembly coupled to the arm at a distal arm-location. The imaging assembly comprises a camera, a pivot member defining a pivot axis and engaged with the camera such that the camera is pivotable about the pivot axis throughout a pivot range, and an actuation member configured to pivot the camera in response to a remote user input. The pivot range can include a point at which an orientation of the camera is rotated at least 90° from an orientation of the elongate arm at the distal arm-location. The wherein the pivot range can include at least a range of 45° in at least a plane parallel to a longitudinal centerline of the elongate arm at the distal arm-location.
