Reference is now made to Figs. 6A-B which illustrate an imaging system provided with NGT 102 for capturing
and rendering one or more images of an area accessible by NGT 102. The distal end of NGT 102 may be provided with
a camera 602 and an orientation adjustor disposed at a distal end of NGT 102, as well as a camera cable 604 connecting
camera 602 and orientation adjustor 606 to a processing unit 608 disposed at a proximal end of NGT 102. Camera 602
may include one or more optical lenses mounted to a sensor, such as a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor
(CMOS) or charged coupled device (CCD) sensor, and may capture one or more images of an area accessible by NGT
10, such as the esophagus, stomach and/or intestines. Images captured by camera 602 may be communicated to video
processing unit 608 via camera cable 604. Camera cable 604 may additionally provide power and a control signal from
processing unit 608 to any of camera 602 and orientation adjustor 606.
