Multi-purpose endoscope system

Abstract

The invention discloses a multi-purpose endoscope system. The system comprises an endoscope probe module, a light source module, an imaging module and an image processing and displaying module, wherein the light source module provides different light sources for the endoscope probe module, the imaging module receives different image signals and forms various images by using the image signals, emitted light generated by the light source module is transmitted to a light source outgoing end opening of the endoscope probe module through optical fiber bundles of a light source, and various image signals formed by fluorescence signals generated by scattering, reflection or excitation of irradiation of different emitted light to a to-be-tested object are transmitted to the imaging module throughimage-carrying optical fiber bundles; the input end of the optical fiber bundles of the light source is connected with a light source output interface of the light source module, and the output end ofthe image-carrying optical fiber bundles is connected with an image-carrying input interface of the imaging module. According to the multi-purpose endoscope system, the limitation of the appearance size and number of the imaging module can be broken through, so that a device such as a fluorescence imaging device which is large in size and weight is applied to the endoscope system, and functionalimaging including fluorescence imaging realizing high sensitivity and multi-wavelength selection is provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical and industrial detection equipment, and relates to a multifunctional endoscope system. Background technique [0002] The endoscopic detection system integrates multiple disciplines such as optics, imaging, and ergonomics. Since its invention, medical endoscopes have provided reliable image evidence for clinical diagnosis that is difficult to provide in vitro diagnosis. It provides solutions for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases such as vascular system, ENT, nervous system and celiac system diseases. Traditional endoscopes are mainly divided into fiberscopes and rigid mirrors. According to the difference between the imaging module located at the distal end and the proximal end of the endoscope body, endoscopes currently used in clinical practice can be further divided into optical endoscopes and electronic endoscopes. [0003] Specifically, the fiberscope conducts images through optical fiber...

Problems solved by technology

However, the solutions to the above two strategies require an increase in the size of the imaging module

The imaging module of the existing endoscope is integrated with the body of the endoscope, therefore, the increase of the imaging module will make it difficult for the user of the endoscope to hold and operate flexibly

That is to say, the convenience of endoscopy and the sensitivity of imaging cannot be combined. This outstanding contradiction has greatly hindered the clinical application of fluorescence endoscopy.
