Endoscopic system for enhanced visualization

An illumination control system for a medical imaging device, the illumination control system comprising:

• a control device communicatively coupleable to a plurality of illumination devices positioned at a distal end of the medical imaging device, the control device having a processor configured to execute instructions to perform operations, including:
• receiving an image of a site from the medical imaging device, wherein the image is captured by the medical imaging device as light is emitted by the plurality of illumination devices, at a first emitted light intensity, onto a plurality of regions of the site to illuminate the plurality of regions;
• analyzing the image to determine an illumination intensity of each of the plurality of regions in the image;
• for a first region of the plurality of regions, determining a difference from a target illumination intensity based on the illumination intensity determined for the first region;
• and
• causing a first illumination device, of the plurality of illumination devices, configured to emit the light onto the first region to vary an intensity of the light emitted from the first emitted light intensity to a second emitted light intensity based on the difference.

An illumination system for a medical imaging device, comprising:

• a plurality of illumination devices positioned at a distal end of the medical imaging device and configured to emit light onto a site, wherein the light emitted from each illumination device of the plurality of illumination devices illuminates a corresponding region of a plurality of regions of the site;
• and
• a control device communicatively coupled to the plurality of illumination devices, and having a processor configured to execute instructions to perform operations to provide illumination control for the medical imaging device, the operations including:
• causing the plurality of illumination devices to emit the light onto the site;
• receiving an image of the site captured by the medical imaging device as the plurality of illumination devices are emitting the light;
• determining an illumination intensity of each region of the plurality of regions of the site in the image;
• for one or more regions of the plurality of regions, determining a difference from a target illumination intensity based on the illumination intensity determined for the one or more regions;
• and
• varying an intensity of the light emitted by one or more illumination devices, of the plurality of illumination devices, configured to emit the light onto the one or more regions, wherein the intensity of the light is varied based on the difference.

A method, implemented by a processor of an illumination control device, for providing illumination control for a medical imaging device, the method comprising:

• receiving an image of a site captured by the medical imaging device as light is emitted onto the site by a plurality of illumination devices positioned at a distal end of the medical imaging device, wherein the plurality of illumination devices include a first illumination device configured to emit the light onto a first region of the site and a second illumination device configured to emit the light onto a second region of the site;
• determining an illumination intensity of each of the first region and the second region of the site in the image;
• and
• based on the determined illumination intensity of each of the first region and the second region, independently varying a first light intensity of the light emitted by first illumination device and a second light intensity of the light emitted by the second illumination device to reach a target illumination intensity.
