Methods and systems for system self-diagnosis

Abstract

One or more devices, systems, methods, and storage mediums for performing self-diagnosis using one or more imaging modalities are provided herein. Examples of applications include imaging, evaluating and diagnosing biological objects, such as, but not limited to, for Gastro-intestinal, cardio and/or ophthalmic applications, and being obtained via one or more optical instruments, such as, but not limited to, optical probes, catheters, capsules and needles (e.g., a biopsy needle). Devices, systems, methods, and storage mediums may include or involve a method, such as, but not limited to, for determining status or health (such as optical health) of a rotary joint of an apparatus/system and/or of the apparatus/system. A device, system, method, or storage medium may perform self-diagnosis or diagnosis to minimize, reduce, and/or avoid optical failures, rotary joint failures, or apparatus/system failures and to have a robust method(s) of determining the health of the rotary joint and/or the apparatus or system.
