Abstract
A camera monitoring system for a bore based medical apparatus is described, wherein the camera monitoring system comprises a first and a second image sensor mounted on opposing surfaces of a circuit board. The first image sensor is arranged to view an object from a first viewpoint via a first lens arrangement and a first mirror and the second image sensor is arranged to view the object from a second viewpoint via a second lens arrangement and a second mirror. By having the image sensors view an object via the mirrors, via the lens arrangements, the lens arrangements contribute to the effective separation of the first and second viewpoints enabling the size of the housing of the camera to be reduced. Furthermore, a method for calibrating a camera monitoring system in a bore based setup is described and also a configuration of arranging a camera monitoring system in connection with a bore based medical apparatus.
