ABSTRACT:
A multispectral imaging system for generating imagery from a broad range of electromagnetic radiation. In a preferred embodiment, the system comprises an image processor unit having a plurality of dedicated inputs formed thereon, each of which connectable to a respective one of a plurality of sensors wherein each sensor is designed to detect wavelengths emanating from a specific spectral region. The image processor unit receives data from a respective sensor, processes such data, and generates an output that is fed to a multimedia controller and computer, the latter being designed to either digitally store, display or provide a printout of the imaging data. In a preferred embodiment, the multimedia controller computer is further designed to transfer such imagery data to a variety of data links to users interfacing with the imaging system. The system may further be modified to accommodate endoscopic sensors for use in procedures related thereto.
