Description
技术领域technical field
本实用新型涉及一种内窥镜装置,特别涉及一种宽谱荧光内窥镜装置,属于检测设备技术领域。The utility model relates to an endoscope device, in particular to a broad-spectrum fluorescence endoscope device, which belongs to the technical field of detection equipment.
背景技术Background technique
医学内窥镜目前已经广泛用于临床检测与手术,集成了光学、影像学、人体工程学等多门学科于一体,为临床诊断提供了体外诊断难以提供的可靠图像依据,为如消化道、脉管系统、耳鼻喉、腹腔系统疾病等多种疾病的诊断与治疗提供了解决方案。Medical endoscopes have been widely used in clinical testing and surgery, integrating optics, imaging, ergonomics and other disciplines, providing a reliable image basis for clinical diagnosis that is difficult to provide in vitro diagnosis, and for the digestive tract, It provides solutions for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases such as vascular system, ENT, and celiac system diseases.
历经百年发展,内窥镜除了成像分辨率的不断提高,日本奥林巴斯、德国Xion等多个品牌提出了很多先进的内窥镜设计方案。如奥林巴斯的双色窄带宽内窥镜,对不同波长的光进行限定,仅留下红、绿、蓝色窄带光波。利用窄带光波穿透胃肠道黏膜的深度不同,实现不同深度血管的穿透。德国Xion的3D成像硬镜,通过双光路设计实现实时三维图像成像,提升了内窥图像的立体感,有利于临床医生对内窥图像中组织深度的观察。After a hundred years of development, in addition to the continuous improvement of the imaging resolution of endoscopes, many brands such as Japan's Olympus and Germany's Xion have proposed many advanced endoscope design solutions. For example, Olympus's two-color narrow-band endoscopes limit light of different wavelengths, leaving only red, green, and blue narrow-band light waves. The use of narrow-band light waves to penetrate the gastrointestinal mucosa at different depths enables the penetration of blood vessels of different depths. Xion's 3D imaging hard mirror in Germany realizes real-time 3D image imaging through dual optical path design, which improves the stereoscopic effect of endoscopic images and is beneficial for clinicians to observe the depth of tissues in endoscopic images.
但是目前的内窥镜光学成像波长基本都是基于可见光区(400-650nm),极少部分是基于传统红外(650-900nm),但这些波长在临床医学进行成像时,不仅会受到因组织对光子的吸收和散射产生的影响,而且还会受到组织自发荧光的严重干扰,因此难以实现组织的高穿透深度和高空间分辨率成像。而短波红外(900-2500nm)荧光成像具有更低的组织散射和吸收、更高的穿透深度,所以短波红外内窥镜光学成像系统具有更高的时空分辨率和检测深度,具有更优和更广泛的应用前景。However, the current endoscopic optical imaging wavelengths are basically based on the visible light region (400-650nm), and a very small part is based on traditional infrared (650-900nm). It is also affected by the absorption and scattering of photons, and is also seriously interfered by tissue autofluorescence, so it is difficult to achieve high penetration depth and high spatial resolution imaging of tissue. And short-wave infrared (900-2500nm) fluorescence imaging has lower tissue scattering and absorption, higher penetration depth, so the short-wave infrared endoscope optical imaging system has higher spatiotemporal resolution and detection depth, with better and wider application prospects.
