Bimodal optical coherence tomography endoscopic probe

Abstract

The invention provides a bimodal optical coherence tomography endoscopic probe, which comprises a probe seat, a probe tube is detachably connected to the probe seat; wherein a first channel used for configuring an OCT scanning light path is formed in the probe tube, the first channel and the probe tube are eccentrically arranged, a second channel used for configuring an endoscope assembly is formed in the outer side of the first channel, and the endoscope assembly is electrically connected with the probe seat through a terminal. The window of the OCT scanning light path, the camera of the endoscope assembly and the LED lighting element are all fixedly arranged at the port of the probe tube. The high-resolution OCT scanning imaging can be met, and the cervical surface image can be clearly recorded in a close range.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical equipment, in particular to a dual-mode optical coherence tomography endoscopic probe. Background technique [0002] Cervical cancer is the third most common malignant tumor in women in the world and the second most common malignant tumor in Chinese women. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are more than 470,000 new cases of cervical cancer in the world every year, and China accounts for 28%. Without proper and effective screening methods and preventive measures, the incidence of cervical cancer in Asia will increase by 40% by 2025. [0003] Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the culprit that causes cervical cancer. It is an extremely common virus. Up to 75% of women will be infected with HPV at some point in their lives. Most women can rely on their own immunity to get rid of the virus. However, if the HPV is continuously infected for a long time and the cervix is ​​in a state of repeated...

Problems solved by technology

However, in clinical examination, OCT and colposcopy are usually carried out at the same time. When OCT is sampling, the sampling position can only be judged by the naked eye or colposcope. In actual operation, because the observer is far away from the cervical surface, and the speculum It is often difficult to accurately judge the OCT sampling position and observe the surface characteristics of the sampling point due to the occlusion of other equipment, so the guiding role of biopsy will be affected
