Abstract: A video endoscopy device includes a sensor device and a catheter for routing radiation to a distal end of the catheter and for outputting same at the distal end of the catheter, and for receiving reflected radiation at the distal end and imaging same onto the sensor device, the sensor device being arranged, within the catheter, near the distal end of the catheter, and is configured to convert the reflected radiation into an electric signal, and the catheter being configured to route the electric signal to a proximal end of the catheter. The video endoscopy device thus allows improved image quality, such as with pre-, intra-, and post-operative observations at and/or in organs and vessels in an actual, i.e. blood-filled, environment.
