Background technology
In the medical science, the biological tissue section is a kind of important means that is used for diagnosing tumor and surgical effect assessment clinically in modern times.Data show according to statistics, and there are more than one hundred million biological tissue section diagnosis in the whole world every year, and general process is in health, to take out the tissue slice of living with methods such as punctures, does the pathology diagnosis at microscopically then, and each diagnosis needs time a couple of days, and medical treatment cost is higher.
Simultaneously, present X-ray is taken the photograph medical images such as sheet, CT and MRI and is learned a skill and become the conventional means of medical diagnosis on disease, has accelerated Diagnostic Time greatly.Yet in the cancer initial stage, lump is less not obvious, and existing imaging technique is because resolution limit is difficult to realize the early diagnosis of tumor.With the pulmonary cancer diagnosis is example, it is generally acknowledged that conventional CT can't detect the brief summary nodular tumor body less than 1 centimetre.Current research tendency is to realize the detection of millimeter level even submillimeter level tumor body through space of improving existing medical imaging devices and density resolution.The weak point of above-mentioned current techniques is that the equipment physical property is required to improve greatly, and is unfavorable for the universalness of high-performance image documentation equipment.
Co-focusing micro-endoscope is embodying compellent advantage aspect the early diagnosis of cancer, but in clinical practice, still has many problems of needing solution badly.At present, the burnt equipment of the copolymerization of existing 2 companies drops into clinical use, and PENTAX company is integrated into common scope head end with the burnt equipment of copolymerization, makes it become the burnt special-purpose scope of copolymerization.And the burnt probe of the Cellvizio copolymerization of MKT company inserts through the scope duct, can be used in combination with any scope.The accuracy and the sensitivity of the burnt endoscopic diagnosis various diseases of copolymerization have reached certain level, but still can not satisfy actual needs aspect detection resolution and the image reconstruct.
