1. A system, comprising:
at least one optical scanning system configured to scan and capture at least one image of a three-dimensional environment within a colon, the optical scanning system comprising:
a housing configured to be positioned within the colon and having a proximal end and a distal end, the housing comprising:
at least one illuminator positioned at the distal end of the housing and configured to produce spatially patterned light and solid light in at least one frame to illuminate tissue within the colon;
at least one camera positioned at the distal end of the housing and configured to capture the at least one image of the illuminated tissue within the colon;
at least one control system configured to:
construct at least one three dimensional point cloud representations of the tissue within the colon using the at least one image of the illuminated tissue within the colon; and,
detect presence of at least one polyp within the colon using the at least one three dimensional point cloud and a pre-trained artificial intelligence engine.
