A kind of capsule endoscope
Technical field
The present invention relates to technical field of medical instruments, specifically a kind of capsule endoscope.
Background technology
Gastroscope and intestinal mirror are at present for two kinds of effective ways of gastroenteropathy diagnosis and treatment.Existing gastroscope and intestinal mirror are generally made up of a few parts such as camera lens, elongated flexible tube and image monitors, and when carrying out gastrointestinal examination to patient, camera lens and flexible pipe need be inserted in patient body, patient is very painful, and operation inconvenience.
In order to change this situation, someone devises capsule endoscope.When after patient swallow, by being encapsulated in the minisize pick-up head in corrosion-resistant capsule, take pictures to gastrointestinal tract inwall, shot image is sent to external receiving terminal through wireless mode, and is stored in SD card.At present, domestic and international You Duojia R&D institution and enterprise are engaged in the research of capsule endoscope.
In May calendar year 2001, the GivenImaging company of Israel produces the capsule-shaped endoscope of a kind of " M2A " by name, per second can picked-up about 20 width images, can continuous operation 6 ~ 8 hours, the image of small intestinal inwall can be photographed." M2A " capsule is of a size of 11mm × 27mm, is made up of light source, lens, CMOS sensitive chip, set of cells and wireless transport module." M2A " capsule is approved by food and medicine committee, and 34 country drop into business application, but " M2A " capsule also exist shooting frame per second low, for some minute lesions easily occur leak clap.
2008, U.S.'s RF system laboratory developed a kind of human body endoscope, " Sayaka " by name.The diameter of " Sayaka " capsule only 9 millimeters, length is 23 millimeters, does not have battery-mounted, passes through wireless power." Sayaka " capsule adopts CCD sensitive chip, per secondly takes 30 pictures, and shooting Image Saving is in the SD of portable receiver end.After being completed, SD card takes out by doctor, after software processes, can form the plane graph of intestinal, is convenient to doctor and observes minutia in intestinal." Sayaka " capsule endoscope is in the experiment test stage at present, also non-commercial applications.
In June, 2004, Chongqing in China Kingsoft science and technology (group) company limited have developed " OMOM " capsule endoscope, and have passed the examination of national " 863 " expert group." OMOM " capsule endoscope diameter is 13mm, and length is 28mm." OMOM " capsule endoscope adopts Passive Mode, and cost compare is high, is difficult to accepted by the public.
