Description

Portable Endoscopy Display

technical field

The invention relates to the field of medical instruments, in particular to a portable endoscope display.

Background technique

With the development of medical science and technology, endoscopic technology is gradually adopted in the process of diagnosis and treatment. An endoscope is a tube equipped with a light that is passed through the mouth into the stomach or into the body through other natural orifices. The endoscope can be used to see lesions that cannot be seen on X-rays, so it is very useful for doctors. For example, with the help of an endoscope, doctors can observe ulcers or tumors in the stomach, and formulate the best treatment plan accordingly. The first endoscopes were made of rigid tubes and were invented more than 100 years ago. Although they have gradually improved, they are still not widely used. Later, in the 1950s, endoscopes were made of flexible tubes that could easily bend around the corners of the body. In 1965, Harold Hozenkins installed a cylindrical lens on the endoscope to make the field of view clearer. Today's endoscopes usually have two fiberglass tubes, one of which light enters the body, the doctor Observation is carried out through a pipeline or a camera. This electronic endoscope has the advantages of clear image, vivid color and high resolution. However, the imaging equipment of the existing electronic endoscope is often bloated and bulky, and it is very inconvenient to move, which limits the range of activities of the operator when using it. Moreover, this kind of display is expensive and does not utilize popularization and application.

Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art to develop a portable and easy-to-move endoscopic display.

Further, the image sensor is a CCD image sensor. CCD sensors have the advantages of high resolution, low noise, wide dynamic range, and low image distortion, and can be used in high-end endoscope displays.

Further, the image sensor is a CMOS image sensor. CMOS sensors have the advantages of low manufacturing cost and low power consumption, which can be widely used in portable endoscope displays and reduce costs.

Furthermore, the length of the portable display is 8-26cm, and the width is 5-24cm. The portable display is small in size and very convenient to carry, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional displays that are heavy, bulky and inconvenient to move.

Furthermore, the portable display is also provided with a storage device for storing displayed images. The stored images can be applied to clinical analysis and diagnosis, which facilitates the management of patient data.

Further, the portable display is provided with a battery charging port. The portable monitor uses batteries, which reduces the interference of the power cord to the operator and enables the doctor to observe the condition more freely.

Furthermore, a rotating mechanism is provided on the base of the portable display, and the portable display can rotate around the base. Physicians can see the contents of the portable display from multiple angles, expanding the operator's range of motion.
