Abstract

[0002] In the field of medical imaging, endoscopic imaging technology has been regarded as a revolutionary diagnostic tool, providing doctors with an intuitive and non-invasive means of observation. In particular, fluorescence endoscopic imaging technology can capture and analyze fluorescence signals within tissues by irradiating biological tissues with excitation light of a specific wavelength, thereby revealing the physiological and pathological states of tissues. However, traditional fluorescence endoscopic imaging technology mainly relies on the visible light band, which to some extent limits its application in deep tissue imaging and complex biological environments.
[0003] Although visible light imaging has high resolution and intuitive image quality, it is severely affected by absorption and scattering when penetrating biological tissues, resulting in poor imaging of deep tissues. In contrast, near-infrared fluorescence imaging technology, especially the short-wave infrared band, has stronger tissue penetration and lower optical scattering, and can capture fluorescence signals in deeper tissues, thereby providing more comprehensive tissue information.
[0004] In order to give full play to the respective advantages of visible light and near-infrared fluorescence imaging, multimodal imaging technology has gradually become a research hotspot in recent years. By integrating the two imaging modes of visible light and short-wave infrared fluorescence imaging, complementary imaging can be achieved, which not only retains the high resolution and intuitiveness of visible light imaging, but also utilizes the deep tissue penetration ability of near-infrared fluorescence imaging, thereby providing more comprehensive and accurate diagnostic information.

8. A method for using the visible light and short-wave infrared fluorescence endoscopic imaging system according to any one of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that The following steps are involved: S1. Installation; Assemble the endoscope (1) and the camera module, thread the endoscope (1) and the optical bayonet (2), move the toggle block (227) toward the fixed block (228), insert the retaining ring into the fixed space (229) and fix it, release the toggle block (227), and under the action of the reset spring, the limit rod (225) clamps the retaining ring to achieve the connection between the camera module and the endoscope (1); S2. Fluorescent labeling; Inject fluorescent markers at locations that require examination; S3. Emitting a light signal; placing the output end of the endoscope (1) at a position to be inspected, turning on the light source (4) through the controller (6) to emit a laser, and irradiating the fluorescent marker at the inspection position with the laser to generate a light signal; S4. Transmission; the endoscope (1) collects the light signals reflected and refracted from the inspection position, transmits them to the optical mount (2) through the optical fiber (5), and focuses them through the lens (212) in the optical mount (2) and finally injects them into the camera module; S5. Spectroscopic processing; the camera module divides the light signal into a short-wave infrared light signal and a visible light signal through a short-wave infrared dichroic coating (35); the short-wave infrared light signal is transmitted and then incident on a short-wave infrared image sensor (33) for processing; the visible light signal is reflected and then incident on a visible light image sensor (37) for processing; S6. Display; the short-wave infrared image sensor (33) and the visible light image sensor (37) convert the optical signal into an electrical signal, which is processed by the controller (6) and then displayed on the display (7); S7. Adjustment: The position of the lens (212) is adjusted by rotating the focusing threaded rod (216) to ensure the clarity of the image on the display (7).
