SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THROAT IMAGING

A portable handheld system for imaging of a throat of a patient, including: a mouthpiece including at least one bite guide for stabilizing the mouthpiece with respect to teeth of the patient when thepatient bites on the at least one bite guide; intraoral optics operable to collect light from the throat of the patient and to direct the light towards an imaging sensor; and an imaging sensor operable to capture light directed by the intraoral optics to provide an image of the throat; wherein a mechanical connection between the mouthpiece and the intraoral optics constrains a spatial relationshipof the intraoral optics with respect to the mouthpiece so that when the patient bites on the at least one bite guide: the intraoral optics is stabilized by the mouthpiece inside a mouth of the patient having a FOV which includes at least part of a tonsil of the patient. 种用于对患者的咽喉进行成像的便携式手持系统，包括：咬嘴，其包括至少个咬合引导件，所述至少个咬合引导件用于当患者咬住至少个咬合引导件时使咬嘴相对于患者的牙齿稳定；口内光学部件，其能够被操作用于从患者的咽喉收集光并且将光引导朝向成像传感器；以及成像传感器，其能够被操作用于捕获由所述口内光学部件引导的光以提供咽喉
