Device for diagnosing a tissue

A method of diagnosing a tissue in a patient's cavity;

• said method comprising the steps of:
• a. providing a device comprising:
• i. a housing;
• ii. at least one sensor configured for diagnosing said tissue within said cavity;
• said sensor is selected from the group consisting of a panoramic camera, a camera for capturing scattering patterns, a close-up camera, an optical fiber connected to a spectrometer and any combination thereof;
• iii. at least one light source having emission spectrum effective for diagnosing said tissue within said cavity;
• said light source selected from the group consisting of a white light laser emitting diode, a coherent laser light source, a UV light source effective for auto-fluorescence excitation and any combination thereof;
• iv. means for manipulating said at least one light source and at least one sensor;
• v. displaying means configured for presenting data obtained by said at least one sensor;
• said manipulating means further comprises a first member rotatable within said housing around a first axis and a second member rotatable within said first member around a second axis;
• said second axis is parallel displaced from said first axis;
• said first and second rotatable members are mounted flush with each other and form a front surface, which carries said at least one light source and at least one sensor facing said tissue to be diagnosed;
• b. inserting said device into said patient's cavity;
• c. capturing a panoramic image of a tissue area to be diagnosed;
• d. detecting a target area which is suspicious for malignancy;
• e. marking said target area in images presented by said displaying means;
• f. navigating said device to said target area;
• g. interrogating tissue data by means of said at least one sensor;
• wherein said step of interrogating tissue data is performed by angular displacement of said first and second member relative to said housing and to each other in a successive manner
