Abstract

An integrated endoscope and visualization system comprises an endoscope, a visualization processing module and a 3D display device such as smart-glasses or naked-eye 3D display. The endoscope is equipped with two image capturing modules such as CMOS image sensors and can be disposable. The visualization processing module receives and encodes the images obtained by the two image capturing modules in order to generate an output visualization signal. The output visualization signal is transmitted to and displayed by the 3D display device in a 3D manner. The integrated endoscope and visualization system not only provides a 3D vision of surgical target during an endoscopic surgery operation, but also allow the medical personnel to walk or move during the surgery while keeping looking at the 3D images captured by the endoscope through wearable display devices. In addition, the modularized visualization processing module can be readily connected with the endoscope, display devices and an IPC for further connecting to other external medical devices.

Description

整合式內視鏡及可視化系統 Integrated endoscope and visualization system

本發明是關於一種整合式內視鏡及可視化系統，尤指一種可在內視鏡手術時提供手術標的物之3D(three-dimensional)視覺影像的整合式內視鏡及可視化系統。 The invention relates to an integrated endoscope and a visualization system, in particular to an integrated endoscope and a visualization system that can provide a 3D (three-dimensional) visual image of a surgical target during endoscopic surgery.

使用內視鏡的微創手術由於具有微創傷、小傷口、低傷痛及復原快等優點，已成為現今外科手術的趨勢。一般來說，病變組織的切除可藉由內視鏡手術來進行，其只需在人體上切割數個大約一公分長的小傷口。因此，病人的傷痛將因傷口區域的極小化而大幅降低，且其住院日與復原時間也能大幅減少。 Endoscopic minimally invasive surgery has become a trend in surgical operations today due to its advantages of minimal trauma, small wounds, low pain, and fast recovery. In general, the removal of diseased tissue can be performed by endoscopic surgery, which only requires cutting several small wounds about one centimeter long on the human body. Therefore, the patient's pain will be greatly reduced due to the minimization of the wound area, and his hospitalization days and recovery time can also be greatly reduced.

大體而言，典型的內視鏡手術系統通常包括一內視鏡、用於顯示由內視鏡拍攝到之影像的一顯示裝置、用於處理影像訊號的一處理器、以及用於進行手術的一或數個手術工具或儀器。然而，傳統的內視鏡手術系統常有以下缺點而需進一步改良：(1)習知的內視鏡中設置了一特殊導光稜鏡結構，用來將內視鏡前端的光影像傳遞至位於內視鏡尾端的一影像擷取器，而該特殊導光稜鏡結構不僅結構複雜且價格很貴；(2)習知內視鏡使用電荷耦合元件(charge-coupled device；簡稱CCD)來作為影像擷取器，所以需要額外的類比數位轉換器(analog-to-digital converter；簡稱A/D converter)來將CCD輸出的類比訊號轉換為數位訊號，而該類比數位轉換器會造成影像扭曲；(3)由於造價很高，習知內視鏡無法設計成拋棄式的，所以，即使每次使用過後會進行消毒，也很難完全避免交叉感染發生；(4)傳統內視鏡手術系統所使用的顯示裝置都是被固定在某一預定位置，醫療人員無法一邊自由走動或轉身而又能同時觀看到內視鏡拍攝到的即時影像；(5)人體內部組織或器官的立體(three-dimensional；簡稱3D)影像，習知內視鏡只能以平面(two-dimensional；簡稱2D)的方式來攝影及顯示在顯示裝置上，導致醫療人員較難在手術過程中藉由2D影像來精確定位手術位置。 In general, a typical endoscopic surgery system usually includes an endoscope, a display device for displaying the image captured by the endoscope, a processor for processing image signals, and an operation for performing surgery One or several surgical tools or instruments. However, the traditional endoscopic surgery system often has the following shortcomings and needs to be further improved: (1) The conventional endoscope is provided with a special light guide structure to transfer the light image at the front end of the endoscope to An image capture device located at the end of the endoscope, and the special light guide structure is not only complicated and expensive; (2) It is known that endoscopes use charge-coupled devices (CCD) to As an image capture device, an additional analog-to-digital converter (A/D converter) is needed to convert the analog signal output by the CCD into a digital signal, and the analog-to-digital converter will cause image distortion ; (3) Due to the high cost, conventional endoscopes cannot be designed to be disposable, so even if they will be disinfected after each use, it is difficult to completely avoid cross infection; (4) traditional endoscopic surgery system The display devices used are all fixed at a predetermined position, and medical personnel cannot move or turn around freely while watching the real-time images captured by the endoscope; (5) Three-dimensional (3) three-dimensional tissues or organs inside the human body (three -dimensional; referred to as 3D) image, the conventional endoscope can only be photographed and displayed on the display device in a two-dimensional (referred to as 2D) mode, which makes it more difficult for medical personnel to use 2D images during surgery Accurately locate the surgical position.
