Capsule endoscope and capsule endoscope system

Abstract

The invention provides a capsule endoscope and a capsule endoscope system. The capsule endoscope comprises a shell, a transparent top, a lens, an image sensor, a light source, a positioning module, a control module and a power supply module, wherein the transparent top is located at one end of the shell; the lens is installed on a support of the transparent top, and the support penetrates through an inner cavity of the shell; the image sensor, the light source, the positioning module, the control module and the power supply module are arranged in the shell; the image sensor is used for acquiring human gastrointestinal images; the light source is located between the lens and the image sensor; the positioning module is used for positioning the position of the capsule endoscope in the body; the control module is used for controlling all the functional modules to collaboratively work and has communication with a handheld image recorder outside the body; the power supply module supplies electric energy to the image sensor, the light source, the positioning module and the control module. Due to the capsule endoscope, not only can a high image resolution be achieved, but also long-time power supply can be provided, and the accuracy of diagnosis can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a capsule endoscope and a capsule endoscope system. Background technique [0002] In recent years, small bowel diseases have become more and more recognized by people, mainly including hemorrhage, tumor, inflammatory bowel disease, malabsorption syndrome and so on. However, due to some anatomical and physiological characteristics (longer, more curved, and farther away from the two ends of the digestive tract), the small intestine is medically known as the "dark continent" unknown territory. For patients with suspected small intestinal lesions, there is currently no Reliable and effective means of inspection. [0003] Traditional endoscopes include gastroscopes, colonoscopes, laryngoscopes, hysteroscopes, etc. Various products have some inherent disadvantages, such as easily causing nausea and vomiting in patients, making patients feel painful; moreover, traditional endoscopes also have "blind spots". "For example, colonoscopy...
