Abstract: According to aspects of the present disclosure, an imaging medical device may include an elongated member having a proximal end, and distal end having an imaging component configured to transmit an analog imaging signal. The assembly also may include a proximal member having a distal end connected to the proximal end of the elongated member. The proximal end may be configured to receive a degraded analog imaging signal based on the analog signal and transmit an amplified analog imaging signal based on the degraded analog imaging signal. The analog imaging signal transmitted by the imaging component may be degraded during transmission to the proximal member to become the degraded analog imaging signal. The assembly also may include a signal processor in electronic communication with the proximal member and configured to receive and process the amplified analog imaging signal and generate a digital signal based on the amplified analog signal.

Abstract: According to one aspect, a visualization device may include an image sensor, a lens for focusing light onto the image sensor, a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a lateral wall surface extending between the first end and the second end, and a coating on the lateral wall surface. The coating may include at least one of an electrically-insulating layer and a light-blocking layer, and may be deposited on the lateral wall surface using, for example, physical vapor deposition (PVD).

Abstract: According to aspects of the present disclosure, a system for visualizing a target area may include an elongate shaft. The elongate shaft may include a distal portion, a lumen that extends longitudinally through the distal portion, and an opening at the distal end of the distal portion. The opening may be in communication with the lumen. The system also may include a visualization assembly housed within the distal portion of the elongate shaft. The visualization assembly may include a transducer array having a field of view in which the transducer array transceives sound waves. The field of view of the transducer array may cover at least part of the distal portion of the elongate shaft and the target area to facilitate visualization of the part of the distal portion of the elongate shaft and the target area.
