Skin confocal microscope probe pressure measuring device

Abstract

The invention provides a skin confocal microscope probe pressure measuring device and belongs to the technical field of medical measurement. The device comprises a housing including a pressure-bearingmember and a pressure-applying member cooperating with the pressure-bearing member; The pressure-bearing member comprises a pressure-bearing surface, a middle part of the pressure-bearing surface isprovided with a through hole for a microscope probe to pass through, a plurality of pressure measuring points are uniformly arranged on the periphery of the through hole on the side of the pressure-bearing surface facing the pressure-applying member, and a pressure sensor is installed at the position of each pressure measuring point; The pressure applying member includes a pressure applying surface, a side of the pressure applying surface facing the pressure bearing member having a contact portion contacting the pressure sensor, and a middle portion of the pressure applying surface having a through hole through which the microscope probe passes; One of the pressure bearing surface and the pressure applying surface further includes a positional fixing structure for fixing the microscope probe, the other of the pressure bearing surface and the pressure applying surface for contacting the skin of the subject. The invention is helpful for obtaining high-quality three-dimensional skin images under a unified standard, quantifying the measurement results and improving the diagnostic accuracy of a novice operator.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to medical measurement technology, in particular to a skin confocal microscope probe pressure measuring device. Background technique [0002] With the continuous improvement of people's daily life standards, their attention to their own skin health and skin beauty has been continuously deepened. Common skin diseases such as erythematosquamia, skin actinic disease, vitiligo, squamous cell carcinoma, etc. have seriously affected people's physical and mental health and appearance, and their early diagnosis and prevention are very important. Another example is melanoma (melanoma), a highly malignant tumor, ranking third among skin malignancies. Pigmented nevus (PN) is a benign neoplasm composed of nevus cells. If symptoms such as sudden increase in volume and darkening of color appear, it may indicate the possibility of malignant transformation. Clinically, the two diseases have many similarities, and it is often difficult to differ...

Problems solved by technology

However, it is often time-consuming and labor-intensive to find a suitable pressure during a test, which largely depends on the experience and judgment of the operator

It is common to fail to obtain high-quality images under a unified standard after multiple tests. This problem generally exists in novice operators and some subjects with special skin conditions.

Images under different standards are mostly interpreted subjectively by doctors, which increases the risk of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment
