Medical imaging device and method for calibrating a medical imaging device

Abstract

The invention relates to a medical imaging device, in particular a laparoscope, endoscope and/or exoscope, having a light source for illuminating a viewing area, a lens having an optical path for capturing the viewing area and imaging first image information of the viewing area on an image capturing device, having a sensitivity distribution such that the first image information is captured by the image capturing device and imaging second image information of said viewing area on said image capturing device such that said second image information is captured by said image capturing device, and an adjustment device for adjusting image parameters of the image capturing device, wherein the adjustment device is associated with a control unit, wherein the first image information can be captured by the control unit and the control unit controls the adjustment device in dependence on the first image information for adjusting the sensitivity distribution with a calibration correlation between the first image information and the second image information so that, by means of the adjustment device, there is calibration of the second image information, dependent on the first image information, for the image capturing device.
