Abstract
A system for altering the field of view of an endoscope image, comprising: an endoscope with a wide-angle lens in its distal end and a camera in its proximal end. The wide angle lens provides images of the endoscope's field of view. A processor, by selecting a portion of the endoscope's field of view, enables virtual maneuvering of a display field of view without physically maneuvering the endoscope or the wide-angle lens.
