Abstract
A method and apparatus for imaging of a scope during an endoscopy procedure. The apparatus comprises an endoscopy device configured for placement at or around an abdomen of a patient during the endoscopic procedure; one or more sensors comprised in the endoscopy device and configured to obtain or provide information related to positioning of an endoscope in relation with the front portion of the endoscopy device or with a set of anatomical landmarks of the patient; and a visual indication component that changes visual output relative to a position of an endoscope.
Claims20
An apparatus to support an endoscopic procedure, comprising:
- an endoscopy device configured for placement at an abdomen of a patient during the endoscopic procedure;
- one or more sensors comprised in the endoscopy device and configured to obtain or provide information related to positioning of an endoscope in relation with a front portion of the endoscopy device or with a set of anatomical landmarks of the patient;
- and
- a visual indication component that changes visual output relative to a position of the endoscope.
A method for support of an endoscopic procedure, with an endoscopy device configured for placement at an abdomen of a patient during the endoscopic procedure, comprising:
- obtaining or providing, in accordance with one or more sensors comprised in the endoscopy device, information related to positioning of an endoscope in relation with a front portion of the endoscopy device or with a set of anatomical landmarks of the patient;
- and
- changing, in accordance with a visual indication component of the endoscopy device, visual output relative to a position of the endoscope.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code, for support of an endoscopic procedure, at an endoscopy device configured for placement at an abdomen of a patient during the endoscopic procedure, the code when executed by processing circuitry causes the endoscopy device to:
- obtain or provide, in accordance with one or more sensors comprised in the endoscopy device, information related to positioning of an endoscope in relation with a front portion of the endoscopy device or with a set of anatomical landmarks of the patient;
- and
- change, in accordance with a visual indication component of the endoscopy device, visual output relative to a position of the endoscope.
