Abstract
A medical imaging system, the medical imaging system may include a non-coherent fiber bundle that comprises multiple fibers; wherein each of the multiple fibers has a distal end and a proximal end; at least one lens optically coupled to the non-coherent fiber bundle; an imaging sensor that is arranged to receive light received from the non-coherent fiber bundle and to generate detection signals; and a non-volatile memory module that stores mapping information that associates between locations of distal ends and proximal ends of the multiple fibers.

A medical imaging system comprising:
- a non-coherent fiber bundle that comprises multiple fibers;
- wherein each of the multiple fibers has a distal end and a proximal end;
- at least one lens optically coupled to the non-coherent fiber bundle;
- an imaging sensor that is arranged to receive light received from the non-coherent fiber bundle and to generate detection signals;
- and
- a non-volatile memory module that stores mapping information that associates between locations of distal ends and proximal ends of the multiple fibers.

- at least one lens optically coupled to the non-coherent fiber bundle;
- an imaging sensor that is arranged to receive light received from the non-coherent fiber bundle and to generate detection signals;
- and an image processor that is arranged to receive the detection signals and reconstruct an image of an object that faces the distal end of the multiple fibers in response to the detection signals and to mapping information that associates between locations of distal ends and proximal ends of the multiple fibers.
