Abstract

An imaging probe for imaging inside a cavity surrounded by a wall, the probe comprising: a) a probe body having a contracted state and an expanded state; and b) at least two imaging sensors, mounted on the probe body and having fields of view in different directions; wherein, when the probe body is in the expanded state, the fields of view of the imaging sensors respectively comprise portions of the wall of the cavity on different sides of the cavity.
