Abstract:
PCT No. PCT/BE94/00042 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 18, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 18, 1996 PCT Filed Jul. 7, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/01749 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 19, 1995The invention relates to a device for reproducing an image of a poorly accessible location, for example in a living body, comprising a substantially cylindrical image pick-up unit to be arranged at the location and an image display means connected to the image pick-up unit, wherein the image pick-up unit is provided with indication means for indicating the rotation position of the image pick-up unit on its axis relative to the horizontal. As a result of these steps it is possible to give an indication of the horizontal, or for example the vertical, on the image reproduced on the image display means, so that the orientation of the displayed image is known, or by processing the displayed image or by turning the image display means such that the orientation of the displayed image corresponds with the actual orientation. Dangerous situations, for instance during performance of an operation, can herewith be avoided.
