For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0033] In order to more clearly describe the structure of the present application, "proximal" and "distal" are used as directional words. "Proximal" refers to the end of the structure close to the operator when in use, and "distal" refers to the end of the structure far away from the operator when in use, that is, the end close to the patient or extending into the patient's body.
[0034] The present application provides an endoscope, which may be a bronchoscope, comprising an operating mechanism and an endoscopic ultrasonic catheter (hereinafter referred to as "ultrasonic catheter"). The ultrasonic catheter has a proximal end and a distal end, and its distal end also defines the distal end of the entire endoscope. The operating mechanism is arranged at the proximal end of the ultrasonic catheter and can control the movement and rotation of the ultrasonic catheter.
[0035] See also Figures 1 to 5 The ultrasonic catheter comprises a tube body 1, an adjustment part 2, an ultrasonic probe assembly 3, a navigation and positioning assembly 4 and a biopsy assembly 5. The ultrasonic catheter has an axial direction X and a radial direction Y perpendicular thereto. The axial direction X of the ultrasonic catheter is its length direction, which is also the direction from the proximal end to the distal end. The ultrasonic catheter can move along the body cavity of the human body to the target position.
[0036] The tube body 1 constitutes the overall appearance of the ultrasonic catheter, and the tube body 1 can be understood as a collection of multiple components, or it can be an integrally formed structure. The tube body 1 provides installation and activity space for the ultrasonic probe assembly 3, the navigation positioning assembly 4 and the biopsy assembly 5. Specifically, the interior of the tube body 1 is provided with a first installation cavity 11 and a second installation cavity 12 that are isolated from each other. The first installation cavity 11 and the second installation cavity 12 extend along the axial direction X of the tube body 1 and are arranged side by side along the radial direction Y of the tube body 1. A movable outlet 111 is provided at the distal end of the first installation cavity 11 to connect the first installation cavity 11 with the outside (the outside of the tube body 1). The adjustment portion 2 is arranged between the first installation cavity 11 and the second installation cavity 12, and a preset angle (such as 90°) is formed between the adjustment portion 2 and the axis of the tube body 1. Figure 3As shown, a preset angle A is formed, the ultrasonic probe assembly 3 is arranged in the second installation cavity 12, and the ultrasonic probe assembly 3 is used to obtain image information of the target position. The navigation and positioning assembly 4 is arranged inside the adjustment portion 2, and is used to navigate and position the tube body 1 to the target position. The biopsy assembly 5 is movably arranged in the first installation cavity 11, and can be extended from the movable outlet 111 and extend along the adjustment portion 2, so that the biopsy assembly 5 is inclined at a preset angle relative to the axis of the tube body 1.
[0037] By integrating the biopsy component 5, the ultrasonic probe component 3 and the navigation and positioning component 4 together, the ultrasonic catheter has the functions of real-time image acquisition, precise positioning and biopsy. When in use, the ultrasonic probe component 3 is used to obtain the image information of the position of the ultrasonic catheter in real time, and then the navigation and positioning component 4 and the ultrasonic probe component 3 cooperate with each other to accurately make the ultrasonic catheter reach the target position. After it reaches the target position, the biopsy component 5 is inserted, and the adjustment part 2 is used to adjust the inclination angle of the biopsy component 5, so that the biopsy component 5 can sample and diagnose the target position at a preset angle, thereby reducing the operation time of clinical surgery. At the same time, the ultrasonic probe component 3 can obtain real-time images of sampling diagnosis, which helps the operator to adjust according to the situation (for example, adjust the position, angle or type of the ultrasonic catheter 5), thereby helping to improve the accuracy of the examination and ensure the diagnosis rate.
[0038] When in use, the biopsy component 5 can also be inserted into the first installation cavity 11, and the ultrasonic probe component 3 can be inserted into the second installation cavity 12. The two can enter the human body cavity synchronously with the tube body 1 and move to the target position synchronously. Then, the biopsy component 5 can be extended from the active outlet 111 by using the operating mechanism to perform sampling diagnosis operations, which simplifies the operation of first inserting the tube body 1 and then inserting the biopsy component 5 in the traditional scheme, and can further improve the operating efficiency.
[0039] Due to the isolated setting of the first mounting cavity 11 and the second mounting cavity 12, the mutual interference between the biopsy component 5 and the ultrasonic probe component 3 can be avoided, and the ultrasonic probe component 3 can be protected. At the same time, the double-cavity structure can also reduce or avoid the friction between the ultrasonic probe component 3 and the biopsy component 5 during the rotation process.
[0040] In some optional embodiments, in order to ensure that the ultrasound probe assembly 3 can better acquire images for sampling diagnosis of the biopsy assembly 5, the distal end of the first mounting cavity 11 is arranged adjacent to the proximal end of the second mounting cavity 12, that is, the proximal ends of the first mounting cavity 11 and the second mounting cavity 12 are roughly side by side along the radial direction Y of the tube body 1, and the extension length of the first mounting cavity 11 is smaller than the extension length of the second mounting cavity 12, so that the distal end of the second mounting cavity 12 and the ultrasound probe assembly 3 therein are adjacent to the target position, and the biopsy assembly 5 is arranged adjacent to the target position after extending from the movable outlet 111, and the distal end of the biopsy assembly 5 is roughly at the same position as the distal end of the second mounting cavity 12.
[0041] In some optional embodiments, the biopsy component 5 includes but is not limited to a biopsy forceps, a cell brush or a puncture needle, and the operator can select a biopsy component 5 of different specifications and models according to clinical needs.
[0042] In some optional embodiments, the distal end of the second installation cavity 12 is a closed structure. When the ultrasound probe assembly 3 is working, a coupling agent needs to be injected, and the coupling agent is used to ensure efficient transmission of sound waves so as to efficiently acquire images. The coupling agent includes but is not limited to bubble water and oily liquid, and has a certain fluidity. The closed structural design can prevent the coupling agent from leaking, so as to ensure the quality and speed of image acquisition.
[0043] In some optional embodiments, the closed structure may be a smooth spherical structure or a planar structure formed by hot-melting the tube body 1 or by other methods. The smooth structural design may reduce friction during movement or rotation of the ultrasonic catheter and reduce pain to the patient.
[0044] Of course, in other embodiments, the distal end of the second mounting cavity 12 may also be an open structure, which has a relatively simple structure and is easy to prepare. However, the coupling agent is in contact with the air, and bubble water needs to be injected multiple times during clinical use to ensure that the air is discharged.
[0045] In some optional embodiments, the ultrasonic probe assembly 3 includes an ultrasonic transducer 31, a transmission shaft 32 and a mounting seat 33. The mounting seat 33 is disposed in the second mounting cavity 12 and is used to carry and protect the ultrasonic transducer 31. The transmission shaft 32 is connected to the mounting seat 33 and can drive the mounting seat 33 and the ultrasonic transducer 31 to rotate and / or move. The operating mechanism includes a driving motor, the output end of which is connected to the transmission shaft 32, and can drive the mounting seat 33 to rotate or move through the transmission shaft 32, thereby adjusting the ultrasonic transducer 31 to obtain image information from different positions and angles.
[0046] The ultrasonic transducer 31 includes a small ultrasonic probe of a single oscillator, which has a piezoelectric effect and is connected to a coaxial cable. Under certain pulse excitation conditions, it can transmit and receive ultrasonic signals to achieve the conversion of electrical energy and acoustic energy. The frequency of the ultrasonic transducer 31 can be selected from 5MHz to 100MHz, generally 12MHz, 20MHz, 30MHz or 40MHz. The transmission shaft 32 can be a spring wound with metal steel wire as a torsion transmission structure, generally a double-layer structure, and a single-layer or multi-layer structure can also be selected. The outer diameter size is as consistent as possible with the outer diameter size of the mounting seat 33, and the two can be fixed by adhesives or laser welding.
[0047] In some optional embodiments, the navigation and positioning component 4 includes an electromagnetic element and a connecting wire. The electromagnetic element is connected to an external circuit through the connecting wire and generates a magnetic field after being energized. In conjunction with it, an energized electromagnetic block is placed outside the body corresponding to the target position of the patient. The distance between the ultrasound catheter and the target position can be determined based on the induced current of the electromagnetic coil to guide the ultrasound catheter to the target position accurately. The electromagnetic element includes an electromagnetic coil and a magnetic core wound with extremely fine insulated wires. One or more electromagnetic coils are wound around a solid or hollow magnetic core to form an electromagnetic element, and a wire is led out to realize the signal transmission function.
[0048] In some optional embodiments, the endoscopic ultrasonic catheter further includes a flexible structure 6, which is arranged inside the tube body 1 and at the proximal ends of the first mounting cavity 11 and the second mounting cavity 12. The setting of the flexible structure 6 is used to improve the rigidity, anti-bending and anti-kinking capabilities of the tube body 1, so that the tube body 1 can be bent freely. When passing through the tortuous lumen in the human body, the setting of the flexible structure 6 provides a certain rigidity, thereby avoiding bending that affects the passability of the ultrasonic catheter. The flexible structure 6 can generally be a spiral or mesh structure. The flexible structure 6 can be selected from snake bones, or can be woven from flat steel wire or round steel wire. Of course, other heterogeneous structures can also be selected to be produced by laser cutting or other processing methods. The flexible structure 6 includes but is not limited to being made of metal materials or polymer materials. The length of the flexible structure 6 is generally 10mm-50mm, which is less than the length of the ultrasonic catheter. Of course, the length of the flexible structure 6 can also be consistent with the length of the ultrasonic catheter. Being arranged inside the ultrasonic catheter can improve the overall rigidity of the ultrasonic catheter. The adjusting portion 2 is connected to the flexible structure 6 , and the connection form is not limited to laser welding, brazing, adhesive bonding, etc., as long as the two are firmly combined.
[0049] See also Figure 4 In some optional embodiments, a third installation cavity 13 is provided in the tube body 1, and the third installation cavity 13 is arranged at the proximal end of the first installation cavity 11 and the second installation cavity 12, and is connected to the first installation cavity 11 and the second installation cavity 12, and the flexible structure 6 is arranged in the third installation cavity 13.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, the preset angle between the adjusting portion 2 and the axis of the tube body 1 is 5°-30°, so that the biopsy component 5 can take samples according to the angle. Exemplarily, the preset angle between the adjusting portion 2 and the axis of the tube body 1 can be 5°, 6°, 10°, 15° or 20°, etc. The adjusting portion 2 can be made of a metal material or a polymer material, and has a space inside to facilitate the installation and fixation of the navigation and positioning component 4.

The tube body 1 and the adjustment portion 2 are an integrally formed structure, which helps to reduce the size of the ultrasonic tube body 1 and is convenient for use in narrow cavities.

In clinical applications, the operator can determine the angle of the biopsy according to the image information pre-acquired by the CT equipment, etc., and thus select the adjustment part 2 with different preset angles to be connected to the second side wall 17, thereby improving the scope of application of the ultrasonic tube body 1.
[0054] In some optional embodiments, the tube body may include a first part, a second part and a third part, the first part forms a first installation cavity 11, a second installation cavity 12 and a third installation cavity 13, the second part forms a fourth installation cavity 14 and a fifth installation cavity 15, and the third part forms an adjustment part 2.
