The development of medical endoscope camera system

Medical endoscope system is suitable for all departments, clinical often used in otolaryngology, urology, gynecology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, neurosurgery, plastic surgery and other departments of medical beauty, suitable for otoscope, sinusoscope, nasopharyngoscope, laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, arthroscopy, foraminal endoscope, fiber bronchoscope and other endoscopic fields. With the continuous development of medical technology, medical endoscope technology is also improving. Let's take a look at the development process of the medical endoscope camera system to further understand the medical endoscope camera system.

1. Rigid endoscope table (1806--1932) : Rigid endoscope table was first developed by the German Philippe Bozzini. It consists of a vase-shaped light source, a candle and a series of lenses for bladder and urethra examinations. The rigid endoscope, developed by Rosenhein in 1895, consisted of three tubes arranged in concentric circles. In 1911, Elsner modified the Rosenhain gastroscope, but the inability to see through the grubby lens was a major drawback. Nevertheless, Elsner gastroscopy remained in the lead until 1932.
2. Semi-flexible endoscope stage (1932 -- 1957) : In 1928, Schindler cooperated with the excellent instrument operator George Wolf to develop the gastroscope, which was finally successful in 1932, and was named Wolf-Schinde gastroscope at that time. Since then, it has been modified to make it more functional and practical.

Fiber-optic endoscopy phase (1957-present) : In 1954, Hopkins and Kapany in the United Kingdom invented fiber-optic technology. In 1957, Hirschowitz and his associates demonstrated their own fibre-optic endoscope to the American Society of Gastroscopy. Japan OLYMPAS in the 1960s using external cold light source, so that the brightness increase, the field of vision further expanded. With the continuous improvement of assistive devices in the last decade, fiber-optic endoscopes can be used not only for diagnosis, but also for surgical treatment.

4. Era of Electronic Endoscope (after 1983) : In 1983, Welchallyn successfully developed an electronic camera type endoscope with a highly sensitive micro camera at the front end. The recorded image is transmitted by telecommunication to the television information processing system, which then converts the signal into an image visible on the television camera.

The composition of the medical endoscope camera system

The medical endoscope camera system is composed of endoscope optical interface, camera and camera system. The camera system consists of a camera, a power cord and a variety of connecting wires. Currently there are single-chip cameras and three-chip cameras; Endoscopic optical interface is suitable for: cystoscope, laparoscope, sinusoscope, support laryngoscope, otoscope, hysteroscope and other endoscope.

The role of medical endoscope camera system

1. Light guide, the light from the external strong light source penetrates into the mechanism to illuminate the inspection site;
2. image guidance, which reflects the image transmission of organ endoscopy. Through the display, it is convenient for the doctor to observe the clear details of the tissue in the cavity, and provides guarantee for the safe operation and fine operation of the doctor.
