Wireless medical imaging system

A wireless medical imaging system comprising a head unit, the head unit comprising:

• (i) a head unit case;
• (ii) an integrated light source;
• (iii) an image sensor;
• (iv) a wireless transceiver;
• (v) a central processing unit;
• and
• (vi) a user-input component;
• wherein:
• the head unit case has an external surface defining an external cavity, an internal surface defining an internal cavity, a first aperture, and a second aperture;
• the integrated light source, the image sensor, the wireless transceiver, and the central processing unit are disposed within the internal cavity;
• the integrated light source extends from within the internal cavity into the first aperture and is configured to transmit light from the head unit through the first aperture, wherein the integrated light source comprises:
• an emissive radiation source having a first spectrum;
• an optical element located to direct emissions from the emissive radiation source;
• a volumetric spectrum converter, the converter being located to convert emissions directed from the emissive radiation source to emissions having a second spectrum different from the first spectrum;
• an optical reflector located about the converter;
• and
• an output filter, the reflector being located to reflect the converter emissions towards the output filter;
• wherein the internal cavity of the head unit case contains the emissive radiation source, the optical element, the converter, the reflector, and the filter, and
• wherein desired light radiates from the internal cavity through the filter;
• the image sensor is configured to detect an image transmitted into the head unit through the second aperture;
• the external cavity is configured to receive an external battery;
• and
• the user-input component is disposed on the external surface.
