Description

即時影像處理之內視鏡裝置Instant image processing endoscope device

本發明係有關於一種內視鏡裝置,尤其是屬於可拋棄式的硬式內視鏡而具有內建的光源,且利用傳輸信號線傳送影像信號至外部電子裝置並即時顯示影像。The present invention relates to an endoscope device, and more particularly to a disposable hard endoscope having a built-in light source, and transmits an image signal to an external electronic device by using a transmission signal line and instantly displays the image.

隨著纖維內視鏡在1960年被發明並成功上市,醫師可透過內視鏡檢查人體內部病灶的位置與狀況,而能很清楚診斷疾病,並擬定最適合的治療方針,尤其是能幫助外科手術醫師縮短手術的難度與時間,並更進一步減少了很多不必要的手術。此外,在體腔內手術中,醫師常常利用內視鏡與治療器械,如刀、鉗子等,以進行治療。With the invention and successful launch of fiber endoscopes in 1960, physicians can examine the location and condition of internal lesions through endoscopy, and can clearly diagnose the disease and formulate the most appropriate treatment guidelines, especially for surgery. The surgeon shortens the difficulty and time of the operation and further reduces many unnecessary operations. In addition, in intraluminal surgery, physicians often use endoscopes and therapeutic instruments, such as knives, forceps, etc., for treatment.

雖然內視鏡的功能在數十年來的發展中已經大幅提昇,然而,習知的內視鏡仍然有明顯的不足與缺點。例如,需要切開體腔壁或是在腹壁鑽開兩個或三個以上的創口,用以***硬性腹腔鏡或鉗子等處置用具,並進行腹腔鏡手術,導致所需創口的開口至少大於10.5mm,不僅增加病人的身體負荷,更會造成術後創口癒合與感染上的問題。Although the function of endoscopes has been greatly improved in the development of decades, the conventional endoscopes still have obvious shortcomings and shortcomings. For example, it is necessary to cut the wall of the body cavity or drill two or more wounds on the abdominal wall for inserting a treatment tool such as a hard laparoscopic or pliers, and performing a laparoscopic operation, resulting in an opening of at least 10.5 mm of the desired wound. Not only increases the patient's physical load, but also causes problems in postoperative wound healing and infection.

另一缺點是傳統內視鏡的價格高昂,大約250-400萬元,因此需要透過消毒以重複使用,但是已有醫學報告指出,對於引起狂牛症的異質蛋白質是很難完全消毒而清除,因此重複使用的傳統內視鏡對特定疾病仍具有潛在的安全疑慮。此外,傳統硬式內視鏡會因為過度彎曲易損壞,而一旦損壞後就必須全部更換,尤其是無法只拋棄部分元件,造成費用負擔。Another disadvantage is that the cost of traditional endoscopes is about 2,500-400,000 yuan, so it needs to be reused through disinfection, but medical reports have pointed out that it is difficult to completely disinfect and sterilize heterogeneous proteins that cause mad cow disease. Therefore, traditional endoscopes that are reused still have potential safety concerns for specific diseases. In addition, the conventional rigid endoscopes are easily damaged due to excessive bending, and once they are damaged, they must be completely replaced, in particular, it is impossible to discard only some of the components, resulting in a cost burden.

目前也有觀察用的膠囊式內視鏡,可藉吞服而觀察腸道狀況,雖然售價4-6萬元,但也僅能單次使用,而無法重複利用,並非一般大眾所能輕易負擔,且膠囊內視鏡的畫質與清晰度還有待提昇。傳統膠囊式內視鏡的其他缺點包括無法詳細的觀察、無法即時進行治療或切片、難以控制方向性、無法配合治療、無法連續性攝影、需耗費較多時間。因此,需要一種即時影像處理之內視鏡裝置,高度整合所有的光電元件,大幅縮減外觀大小,改善操作的方便性,尤其可實現可拋棄式應用,消除感染疑慮,進而解決上述習用技術的問題。At present, there are also capsule endoscopes for observation. The bowel condition can be observed by swallowing. Although the price is 4-6 million yuan, it can only be used once and cannot be reused. It is not easy for the general public to afford. And the quality and clarity of the capsule endoscope need to be improved. Other disadvantages of conventional capsule endoscopes include the inability to observe in detail, the inability to treat or slice immediately, the difficulty in controlling directionality, the inability to cope with treatment, the inability to perform continuous photography, and the time consuming. Therefore, there is a need for an instant image processing endoscope device that highly integrates all of the optoelectronic components, greatly reducing the size of the appearance, improving the convenience of operation, and particularly enabling disposable applications, eliminating infection concerns, and solving the problems of the above-mentioned conventional techniques. .
