Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatus for illuminating a mobile imaging system by use of a light source operable to emit light for status indication, pathway illumination, and/or creation of favorable lighting environment. A triggering signal originating from a photosensor arranged to receive light at the mobile imaging system, a signal indicative of movement of the mobile imaging system, or user or system command is used to adjust the lighting source. The light source can be a light emitting diode (LED), collimator lamp, halogen lamp, fluorescent lamp, organic display, or any other light-emitting technology. The light source is adjustable as to color and intensity and can indicate the mobile imaging system's condition, status, or event.
