[0001] This application relates to the field of endoscopy technology, and in particular to a duodenoscope system, a duodenoscope system control method, and a storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] The electronic duodenoscope system is an endoscopic system used for the treatment and examination of the biliary and pancreatic systems. Because the interface papilla between the bile duct and the intestine is located on the lateral wall of the duodenum, the camera of the duodenoscope system is usually positioned on the side of the tip to facilitate accurate insertion of instruments into the papilla opening. The images captured by the camera are displayed to the doctor on a screen.

[0003] However, since the duodenoscope system needs to pass through the mouth and digestive tract to enter the duodenum, and doctors need to rely on their own experience to determine the posture and position of the endoscope in the image and perform the corresponding endoscopic operations, this undoubtedly requires doctors to have strong ability to operate the duodenoscope system and strong spatial perception ability.

[0011] In one embodiment, the step of controlling the side-view camera module to output light of the target wavelength band to illuminate the target area and acquire an image of the target area, and displaying the image of the target area to the doctor, includes: Send a start command to the side-view camera module and wait for the side-view camera module to complete the start-up process; When the side-view camera module is started, it is controlled to output light of the target wavelength to illuminate the target area and acquire an image of the target area; The forward-facing camera module is turned off, and the camera module data stream is switched to display the image of the target area to the doctor.

[0020] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] Unless otherwise specified, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) shall have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the various embodiments of this application pertain. Terms (such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries) shall be interpreted as having the same meaning as in their contextual meaning in the relevant technical field and shall not be construed as having an idealized or overly formal meaning, unless clearly defined in the various embodiments of this application.

[0022] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a first structural schematic diagram of the duodenoscope system provided in this application; wherein the duodenoscope system includes: a front-view camera module, a side-view camera module, and a processor.

[0024] The forward-facing camera module is used to output illumination light and capture forward-facing images during the camera's advance. The side-view camera module is used to output light of the target wavelength to illuminate the target area and acquire images of the target area during the treatment process. The light of the target wavelength can illuminate and enhance the visual contrast between the target tissue and normal tissue in the target area. The processor is used to control the output light of the front-view camera module and the side-view camera module, and to output the front-view image or the target area image.

[0025] Understandably, doctors can send commands to the processor of the duodenoscope system via the controller, causing the processor to switch between the forward-viewing camera module and the side-viewing camera module according to the commands.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a second structural schematic diagram of the duodenoscope system provided in this application; wherein, the duodenoscope system further includes: a camera module switching module and a main unit light source, the side-view camera module includes a side-view camera and a side-view illumination lens, the front-view camera module includes a front-view camera and a front-view illumination light source, and the main unit light source is connected to the side-view illumination lens through an illumination optical fiber.

[0027] The camera module switching module is used to switch either the front-view camera in the front-view camera module or the side-view camera in the side-view camera module as the target camera in response to the switching command from the processor. It is understood that the doctor can send commands to the processor of the duodenoscope system via the controller, and the processor, based on the sent commands, sends switching commands to the camera module switching module. The camera module switching module then switches either the front-view camera or the side-view camera as the target camera to acquire front-view images or images of the target area for presentation to the doctor.

[0028] In one embodiment, the camera module switching module can use a receiving chip to simultaneously connect to signals from different cameras, internally select and switch data through logic circuits or software, and send the selected data to the image processor through a back-end interface.

[0029] In one embodiment, the camera module switching module can connect the selected signal circuit to the subsequent circuit by changing the way the signal circuit is connected.

[0030] The forward illumination source, in response to the processor's illumination command, outputs illumination light for illumination. It is understood that the forward illumination source is an LED illumination source, emitting ordinary white light to illuminate the passage of the duodenoscope system during insertion. The processor's illumination command is first sent to the forward illumination source driver, which then controls the forward illumination source to illuminate. Furthermore, the LED brightness can be automatically adjusted under the processor's control based on the image brightness.

[0031] The forward-viewing camera is used to capture forward-viewing images. As we understand it, the duodenoscope system needs to pass through the mouth and digestive tract to enter the duodenum during insertion, a process that is winding and circuitous. Therefore, the forward-viewing camera captures forward-viewing images of the duodenoscope system during this process, showing them to the doctor so that the doctor can adjust the angle, force, and speed of insertion.

[0032] The side-view illumination lens is used to output light of the target wavelength to illuminate the target area; the main light source, in response to the processor's illumination command, emits light of the target wavelength and transmits it to the side-view illumination lens via an illumination fiber optic cable. It can be understood that the main light source can emit light of various wavelengths, enabling specialized illumination functions that aid in observing the condition of the surgical area, such as observing deep blood vessels to avoid cutting them, or locating bleeding points in case of bleeding. The processor, based on instructions from the doctor, controls the main light source to emit light of the target wavelength and transmit it to the side-view illumination lens via the illumination fiber optic cable, causing the side-view illumination lens to output light of the target wavelength to illuminate the target area. Simultaneously, the processor automatically adjusts the emission level of the main light source based on the brightness of the side-view target image.

[0033] A side-view camera is used to capture images of the target area illuminated by light of the target wavelength.

[0034] The duodenoscopy system of this embodiment includes a front-view camera module for illuminating the target area and acquiring front-view images during endoscopy insertion; a side-view camera module for illuminating the target area with light of the target wavelength and acquiring images of the target area during treatment; and a processor for controlling the light output of the front-view and side-view camera modules and displaying the front-view images or target area images to the physician. The front-view camera module enables illumination and image acquisition during endoscopy insertion, improving the ease of operation for physicians; the side-view camera module outputs light of the target wavelength to illuminate the target area and acquire images of the target area, allowing physicians to quickly identify the target tissue. This helps reduce differences in operation and image recognition between different physicians of the duodenoscopy system, improving overall medical quality.

[0035] It is understood that the duodenoscope system control method provided in this application is applied to the duodenoscope system provided in this application. For ease of description, the following embodiments use the processor of the duodenoscope system as the execution subject for illustration.

[0036] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a first embodiment of the duodenoscope system control method provided in this application. The method includes: Step S101: In response to the endoscope insertion command, control the forward-viewing camera module to output illumination light for illumination and acquire a forward-viewing image, and display the forward-viewing image to the doctor.

[0038] In this embodiment, the processor of the duodenoscope system responds to the doctor's input of the insertion command, switching the current working camera module to the forward-viewing camera module, controlling the forward-viewing camera module to output illumination light for illumination and to acquire forward-viewing images; the processor displays the forward-viewing images acquired by the forward-viewing camera module to the doctor through a display. It is understood that the duodenoscope system needs to pass through the mouth and digestive tract to enter the duodenum during insertion, a process that is tortuous and winding. During this process, the forward-viewing camera module emits ordinary white light to illuminate the passage of the duodenoscope system during insertion and to acquire forward-viewing images of the duodenoscope system during insertion, displaying them to the doctor to facilitate adjustments to the angle, force, and speed of insertion.

[0039] In step S102, in response to the treatment command, the side-view camera module is controlled to output light of the target wavelength to illuminate the target area and acquire an image of the target area. The image of the target area is then displayed to the doctor. The light of the target wavelength can enhance the visual contrast between the target tissue and normal tissue in the target area.

[0040] In this embodiment, the processor of the duodenoscope system, responding to the treatment command input by the doctor, switches the current working camera module to the side-view camera module. It controls the side-view camera module to output light of the target wavelength to illuminate the target area and acquire an image of the target area. This image is then displayed to the doctor. The target wavelength light enhances the visual contrast between the target tissue and normal tissue in the target area. It is understood that because the target wavelength light enhances the visual contrast between the target tissue and normal tissue in the target area, the visual contrast between the target tissue and normal tissue in the target area image displayed to the doctor is also enhanced, allowing the doctor to quickly and accurately locate the target tissue based on the target area image. It is also understood that the target wavelength light can be ordinary white light.

[0041] In this embodiment, the processor of the duodenoscope system uses a forward-viewing camera module to emit ordinary white light during insertion to illuminate the path of the duodenoscope system and capture a forward-view image of the system during insertion. This image is then displayed to the physician, facilitating adjustments to the angle, force, and speed of insertion. During treatment, a side-viewing camera module outputs light of a target wavelength to illuminate the target area and captures an image of that area. This target wavelength enhances the visual contrast between the target tissue and normal tissue in the target area. Consequently, the visual contrast between the target tissue and normal tissue in the target area image displayed to the physician is also enhanced, allowing the physician to quickly and accurately locate the target tissue based on the target area image. This helps reduce differences in the operation and image recognition of the duodenoscope system among different physicians, improving the overall quality of medical care.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a second embodiment of the duodenoscopy system control method provided in this application. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the step of controlling the forward-viewing camera module to output illumination light for illumination and to acquire a forward-viewing image, and then displaying the forward-viewing image to the doctor, includes: Step S201: Send a start command to the forward-looking camera module and wait for the forward-looking camera module to start.

[0043] Step S202: When the forward-viewing camera module is started, control the forward-viewing camera module to output illumination light for illumination and capture forward-view images.

[0044] Step S203: Turn off the side-view camera module and the main light source of the duodenoscope system, and switch the camera module data stream to display the front view image to the doctor.

[0045] In this embodiment, the processor of the duodenoscope system sends a start command to the forward-viewing camera module and waits for the forward-viewing camera module to complete its startup. Since the startup process of the forward-viewing camera module requires initialization, which consumes some time, the processor continues to control the side-viewing camera module to acquire images of the target area and display them to the doctor during this period. When the forward-viewing camera module completes its startup, the processor controls the forward-viewing camera module to output illumination light for illumination and acquire forward-viewing images. It then turns off the side-viewing camera module and the main light source of the duodenoscope system, and switches the camera module data stream to display the forward-viewing images to the doctor.

[0046] Understandably, while waiting for the forward-facing camera module to start up, the processor will still control the side-facing camera module to acquire images of the target area and display them to the doctor, thus avoiding a brief period of image freezing during the waiting process and improving the user experience.

[0047] Understandably, after the front-view camera module is started, the side-view camera module and the main light source of the duodenoscope system are turned off, and the camera module data stream is switched to display the front-view image to the doctor. This ensures that only one camera data input is processed at a time, so the processor only needs to process one data input and does not need to consume additional resources to process unnecessary image data, thus improving the processor's resource utilization.

[0048] Understandably, the duodenoscope system operates with only one of its forward or side-view camera modules during different workflows. This can effectively reduce the heat generated at the tip of the duodenoscope system and avoid damage to the mucosa caused by prolonged exposure to unobserved lighting.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating a third embodiment of the duodenoscope system control method provided in this application. The difference between this third embodiment and the first to second embodiments lies in the step of controlling the side-view camera module to output light of the target wavelength band to illuminate the target area and acquire an image of the target area, and then displaying the image of the target area to the doctor. The step includes: Step S301: Send a start command to the side-view camera module and wait for the side-view camera module to start.

[0050] Step S302: When the side-view camera module is started, control the side-view camera module to output light of the target band to illuminate the target area and acquire images of the target area.

[0051] Step S303: Turn off the forward-facing camera module and switch the camera module data stream to display the image of the target area to the doctor.

[0052] In this embodiment, the processor of the duodenoscope system sends a start command to the lateral camera module and waits for the lateral camera module to complete its startup. Since the lateral camera module startup process requires initialization, which takes some time, the processor continues to control the front camera module to acquire frontal images and display them to the doctor during this period. When the lateral camera module completes its startup, the processor controls the lateral camera module to output light of the target wavelength to illuminate the target area and acquire images of the target area. It then turns off the front camera module and the front illumination source and switches the camera module data stream to display the target area to the doctor.

[0053] Understandably, while waiting for the side-view camera module to start up, the processor will still control the front-view camera module to capture front-view images and display them to the doctor, avoiding a short period of image freezing during the waiting process and improving the user experience.

[0054] Understandably, after the side-view camera module is started, the front-view camera module is turned off, and the camera module data stream is switched to show the target area image to the doctor. This ensures that only one camera data input is sent to the processor at a time, so the processor only needs to process one data input and does not need to consume additional resources to process unnecessary image data, thus improving the processor's resource utilization.

[0055] Understandably, the duodenoscope system operates with only one of its forward or side-view camera modules during different workflows. This can effectively reduce the heat generated at the tip of the duodenoscope system and avoid damage to the mucosa caused by prolonged exposure to unobserved lighting.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating a fourth embodiment of the duodenoscope system control method provided in this application. The difference between this fourth embodiment and the first to third embodiments is that the duodenoscope system further includes a main unit light source, which is connected to the side-view illumination lens of the side-view camera module via an illumination optical fiber. The step of controlling the side-view camera module to output light of the target wavelength band to illuminate the target area includes: Step S401: In response to the illumination command, determine the target wavelength and control the host light source to emit light of the target wavelength.

[0057] Step S402: The light of the target wavelength is transmitted to the side-view illumination lens through the illumination optical fiber, and the light of the target wavelength is output through the side-view illumination lens to illuminate the target area.

[0058] In this embodiment, the processor of the duodenoscopy system responds to the irradiation command input by the doctor, determines the target wavelength, and controls the main light source to emit light of the target wavelength. The processor transmits the light of the target wavelength to the side-view illumination lens through an illumination fiber optic cable, and the side-view illumination lens outputs the light of the target wavelength to illuminate the target area. It is understood that the main light source can emit light of various wavelengths, enabling special illumination functions that help observe the state of the surgical area, such as observing the state of deep blood vessels to avoid cutting them, or using special illumination to locate the bleeding point in case of bleeding. The processor can control the main light source to emit light of the target wavelength according to the doctor's instructions and transmit it to the side-view illumination lens through the illumination fiber optic cable, so that the side-view illumination lens outputs the light of the target wavelength to illuminate the target area.

[0059] It should be noted that during the treatment process, the side-view camera module outputs light of the target wavelength to illuminate the target area and acquire images of the target area. The light of the target wavelength can enhance the visual contrast between the target tissue and normal tissue in the target area. Correspondingly, the visual contrast between the target tissue and normal tissue in the target area image shown to the doctor will also be enhanced. The doctor can quickly and accurately locate the target tissue based on the target area image, which helps to improve the accuracy and convenience of the doctor in identifying the target tissue.
