Ultrasonic endoscope and operation method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses an ultrasonic endoscope. The ultrasonic endoscope comprises a control rod and an operation rod which are connected with each other, wherein the free end of the control rod is connected with an information feedback device; a probe component is arranged at the free end of the operation rod, and comprises a phase array ultrasonic probe and an optical endoscope; the phase arrayultrasonic probe comprises a shell and an ultrasonic vibrator positioned in the shell; and a control component is arranged at the joint of the control rod and the operation rod, and is used for controlling the phase array ultrasonic probe to make directional back-forth swinging and a dead axle to rotate. The ultrasonic endoscope can be used for efficiently and stably implementing multi-plane scanning diagnosis. The invention further discloses an operation method for the ultrasonic endoscope.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of clinical medical devices, in particular to an ultrasonic endoscope. The present invention also relates to an operation method for the above-mentioned ultrasonic endoscope. Background technique [0002] Medical electronic endoscope is an effective means for early diagnosis and monitoring of multiple diseases that endanger national health in the digestive tract, respiratory, ENT, urinary and other body organs. However, electronic endoscopes that only have surface imaging are difficult to detect lesions without surface features. diagnosis. Therefore, simultaneous acquisition of high-definition surface images and deep tissue structure information is of great significance for the diagnosis of early lesions, especially early cancer lesions. In view of this, the ultrasonic endoscopic system integrating optical and ultrasonic composite imaging has great medical value. [0003] For the current clinical diagnosi...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] For the current clinical diagnosis and treatment process, since the ultrasonic endoscope enters the body through the human cavity (such as the esophagus, intestinal tract, etc.), and scans and diagnoses the organs in the body, it is bound by the structure of the human cavity and internal organs. , its dimensions are required to be smaller, and during the inspection process, the ultrasonic endoscope cannot be rotated arbitrarily to avoid damage to the human cavity or internal tissues; at the same time, due to the needs of ultrasonic diagnosis, the surface of the acoustic lens of the ultrasonic endoscope must be accurately contacted To the area to be inspected, during the inspection process, it is also necessary to rotate the probe array to scan different sections of the lesion
