Video systems designed to obtain images of the interior cavities of the body (e.g., gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, peritoneum). These systems typically consist of a video-image detection and processing system, including a video camera, a light source, an image processor, monitors, and recording devices. Video endoscopy systems are used for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, such as gastrointestinal endoscopy, laparoscopy, and arthroscopy.
