Abstract

The invention discloses a wireless capsule endoscope system. A wireless capsule endoscope at least comprises a first wireless capsule endoscope and a second wireless capsule endoscope, wherein the first wireless capsule endoscope is put into a body first and shoots images which serve as reference images inside the body; and the second wireless capsule endoscope adjusts the shooting speed of the second wireless capsule endoscope according to the information of the reference images shot by the first wireless capsule endoscope inside the body. Based on a suspected diseased area, the wireless capsule endoscope system changes the shooting speed in a targeted way, so the number of pictures of the suspected diseased area is increased effectively, namely the ratio of the pictures which need more observation to the total number of the pictures is raised, the burden of post image processing and screening is lowered, and doctors can diagnose more conveniently.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a wireless capsule endoscope system and method for detecting a suspected lesion area through an existing image recognition technology and adjusting a shooting rate. Background technique

[0002] The history of humans using endoscopes to detect internal organs can be traced back to the 19th century. In 1806, German scientist Philipp Bozzini first invented the prototype of an endoscope that used candlelight to detect human bladder and intestines. Since then, different types of endoscopes (such as gastroscopes, used to detect gastric lesions; colonoscopes, used to detect intestinal lesions) have been continuously developed and improved to help doctors detect diseases of the digestive system in vivo .

[0003] In the past ten years, endoscope-related science and technology have developed rapidly, especially the birth of a medical auxiliary device that can be used to supplement and improve gastroscope and colonoscope—wireless capsu...
