PRENOSNA ŠPRANJSKA SVETILKA Z VGRAJENO DIGITALNO KAMERO IN OSVETLITVENO ZASLONKOPORTABLE SPRING LAMP WITH DIGITAL CAMERA AND LIGHTING SCREEN
Področje tehnikeThe field of technology
Izum sodi v področje medicinskih naprav za diagnostiko bolezni oči, natančneje v področje naprav za osvetljevanje in snemanje oči pri pregledovanju.The invention belongs to the field of medical devices for the diagnosis of eye diseases, more specifically to the field of devices for illumination and recording of eyes when inspected.
Tehnični problemA technical problem
Tehnični problem, ki ga rešuje prenosna špranjska svetilka z vgrajeno digitalno kamero in osvetlitveno zaslonko, je konstrukcija sestava diagnostične svetilke za špranjsko osvetlitev, ki zagotavlja zadostno količino svetlobe v območju opazovanja in s tem omogoči zadovoljivo snemanje pregledovanega očesa. Osvetlitvena zaslonka mora zagotoviti, da je na posnetku jasna slika dela očesa, osvetljenega z ozko svetlobno špranjo, ki sama po sebi običajno ne daje dovolj svetlobe za jasne in razločne posnetke. Konstrukcijska rešitev mora zagotoviti vgradnjo osvetlitvene zaslonke po izumu v prenosne in stacionarne izvedbe špranjskih svetilk ne glede na vrsto svetlobnega izvora.A technical problem solved by a portable slit lamp with a built-in digital camera and an aperture is the construction of a slit diagnostic luminaire that provides sufficient light in the viewing area to allow a satisfactory recording of the inspected eye. The illumination aperture must ensure that the image is a clear image of a part of the eye illuminated by a narrow aperture that does not normally provide enough light for clear and distinct shots. The design solution must ensure the installation of the aperture according to the invention in portable and stationary versions of slit lamps, regardless of the type of light source.
Drugi tehnični problem, ki ga rešuje prenosna špranjska svetilka po izumu, je rešitev vgradnje nekontaktne leče za opazovanje očesnega ozadja, ki običajno ni integrirana v špranjsko svetilko. V ta namen je treba konstruirati primerno držalo, na katerega je mogoče pritrditi nekontaktno lečo tako, da gorišče nekontaktne leče na držalu sovpada z goriščem špranjske svetilke.Another technical problem solved by the portable slit lamp according to the invention is the solution of the installation of a non-contact lens for observing the eye background, which is not normally integrated into the slit lamp. For this purpose, a suitable holder must be constructed to which a non-contact lens can be attached so that the focal point of the non-contact lens on the holder coincides with that of the slit lamp.
Znano stanje tehnikeThe prior art
Špranjske svetilke se uporabljajo pri preiskovanju oči za osvetlitev izbranega dela očesa s pomočjo osvetlitvene špranje. Pri pregledovanju je zdravniku v veliko pomoč, če lahko opazovane dele očesa sproti tudi posname, saj lahko posnetke naknadno podrobno preuči, lahko pa si sestavi banko podatkov o stanju oči posameznih pacientov.Slit lamps are used in eye examination to illuminate a selected part of the eye by means of an illuminating slit. It is of great help to the physician when he / she is able to record the observed parts of the eye on an ongoing basis, as he / she can examine the images in detail afterwards, and can build up a database of individual patients' eyes.
Količina svetlobe, ki se skozi režo špranjske svetilke projicira na opazovano oko, je, razen pri zelo dragih izvedbah digitalnih kamer, premajhna za kakovostno snemanje. Senzor digitalne kamere namreč pri nezadostni osvetlitvi težko integrira posamezne dele (točke) v celotno sliko, poleg tega je močno zmanjšana tudi hitrost integracije, zato je možnost snemanja zaporednih sekvenc ali snemanja video posnetka reducirana. Rezultat so nekakovostni, nejasni in pogosto tudi za zdravnika neuporabni posnetki, ki ne kažejo dejanske vizualne slike osvetljenega dela očesa. Do sedaj je bilo predlaganih že nekaj rešitev za izboljšanje osvetlitve pri špranjskih svetilkah ali pri napravah za opazovanje oči. Znane rešitve lahko v splošnem strnemo v tri skupine. V prvi skupini so izvedbe špranjskih svetilk z dodatnimi svetlobnimi viri. Takšne izvedbe so opisane na primer v patentih JP2004290461, JP2003299619, JP2002102173, US6072623 in US5196874. V drugi skupini so izvedbe špranjskih svetilk z enim virom svetlobe in razvejanimi svetlobnimi potmi. Primer te izvedbe je podan v patentu US4102565. V tretji skupini so izvedbe s spreminjanjem svetlobne jakosti svetlobnega vira; primer te izvedbe je podan v patentu US6283596. Težava pri prvih dveh zgoraj omenjenih skupinah rešitev so dodatni svetlobni viri oziroma dodatne strukture za svetlobne poti, zaradi katerih je predvsem pri prenosnih izvedbah špranjskih svetilk konstrukcija okornejša, poleg tega je rokovanje s tako špranjsko svetilko težje in manj zanesljivo. Pri tretji skupini rešitev je glavna težava v tem, da ne omogočajo sočasnega snemanja struktur očesa, ki se nahajajo izven območja, osvetljenega le s svetlobno projekcijo ozke špranje.The amount of light projected through the slit lamp slot onto the observed eye is, except for very expensive digital camera designs, too small for quality shooting. The digital camera sensor, in low light, makes it difficult to integrate individual parts (dots) into the whole picture, and the integration speed is greatly reduced, so the ability to record sequential sequences or record video is reduced. The result is low-quality, unclear and often even useless shots for the doctor that do not show the actual visual image of the illuminated part of the eye. So far, several solutions have been proposed to improve the illumination of slit lamps or eye-observation devices. Known solutions can be broadly grouped into three groups. In the first group there are versions of slit lamps with additional light sources. Such embodiments are described, for example, in patents JP2004290461, JP2003299619, JP2002102173, US6072623 and US5196874. In the second group there are versions of slit lamps with a single light source and branched light paths. An example of this embodiment is given in US4102565. In the third group there are embodiments by varying the luminous intensity of the light source; an example of this embodiment is given in patent US6283596. The problem with the first two aforementioned solution groups is the additional light sources or additional structures for the light paths, which make the structure more cumbersome for portable slit lamp designs, and the handling of such slit lamp is more difficult and less reliable. In the third group of solutions, the main problem is that they do not allow simultaneous recording of eye structures located outside the area illuminated only by the projection of a narrow slit.
Pri opazovanju očesnega ozadja zdravnik med oko pacienta in izhodni objektiv mikroskopa špranjske svetilke postavi nekontaktno lečo z visoko dioptrijo, katere gorišče mora sovpadati z goriščem mikroskopa špranjske svetilke. Pri dosedanjih izvedbah špranjskih svetilk je treba to lečo držati z roko, kar otežuje pregled očesa, poleg tega pa je na tak način težko stalno zagotavljati sovpadanje gorišč nekontaktne leče in špranjske svetilke.When observing the ocular background, the physician places a non-contact, high-diopter non-contact lens between the patient's eye and the exit lens of the slit lamp microscope, the focal point of which must coincide with the focus of the slit lamp microscope. To date, the slit lamps have to be held by the lens, which makes it difficult to inspect the eye, and in this way it is difficult to constantly ensure that the focal points of the non-contact lens and the slit lamp match.
Opis rešitve tehničnega problemaDescription of solution to a technical problem
Bistvena značilnost prenosne špranjske svetilke z vgrajeno digitalno kamero in osvetlitveno zaslonko po izumu je v tem, da omogoča sočasno vizualno pregledovanje in snemanje izbranega mesta v očesu ter da zagotavlja zadostno osvetljenost očesa za izdelavo kakovostnih in razločnih posnetkov.An essential feature of a portable slit lamp with a built-in digital camera and an aperture according to the invention is that it allows simultaneous visual inspection and recording of the selected spot in the eye and provides sufficient illumination of the eye to produce high quality and distinctive images.
Svetlobni snop potuje iz svetlobnega vira najprej skozi kondenzorsko optiko, nato skozi eno izmed rež na osvetlitveni zaslonki, pri čemer je poskrbljeno, da je osvetlitvena špranja na očesu enakomerno osvetljena, kar se zagotovi na primer s pomočjo Koehlerjeve osvetlitve, ter skozi zadnji objektiv in prek prizme ali zrcala na pregledovano oko. Pri snemanju z digitalno kamero je na posnetku tisti predel očesa, ki je osvetljen s svetlobno projekcijo ozke osvetlitvene reže, saj ta slika zdravnika pri pregledu tudi najbolj zanima. Zadostno količino svetlobe za senzor digitalne kamere omogočata dodatni odprtini ob straneh osvetlitvene reže, ki poskrbita za to, da je osvetljeno tudi območje očesa ob osvetlitveni špranji, kar je zdravniku tudi pri opazovanju v dodatno pomoč.The beam travels from the light source first through the condenser optics, then through one of the slots on the illumination aperture, ensuring that the illumination gaps on the eye are uniformly illuminated, for example by Koehler illumination, and through the back lens and through prisms or mirrors to the examined eye. When shooting with a digital camera, the image in the image is the area of the eye that is illuminated by the projection of a narrow illumination slot, as this image of the doctor is most interested in examination. A sufficient amount of light for the digital camera sensor is provided by an additional opening along the sides of the illumination slot, which also ensures that the eye area is illuminated by the illumination gap, which is also helpful to the physician when observing.

Oko se s pomočjo špranjske svetilke (slika 1) osvetli z osvetlitveno špranjo, ki nastane kot slika izbrane reže. V optičnem stolpu 35 se svetlobni snop svetlobnega vira 1, ki je lahko ena ali več belih svetlečih diod ali žarnic, projicira skozi kondenzorsko optiko 3 na zadnji objektiv 12, ki preslika izbrano režo prek prizme 13 na oko, kjer nastane enakomerno osvetljena slika izbrane reže. Na opcijski vrtljivi plošči 20 so različni svetlobni filtri, na primer atenuacijski filter, modri filter, zeleni filter, ter izvrtina brez filtra, ki prepušča belo svetlobo svetlobnega viraThe eye is illuminated by a slit lamp (Figure 1) with the illumination slit, which is created as a picture of the selected slot. In the optical tower 35, the light source of the light source 1, which may be one or more white light emitting diodes or lamps, is projected through the condenser optic 3 onto the rear lens 12, which maps the selected slot through the prism 13 to the eye, where an evenly illuminated image of the selected slot is formed. . Optional swivel plate 20 includes various light filters, such as an attenuation filter, a blue filter, a green filter, and a bore without a filter that transmits white light to a light source.
1. Z zasukom vrtljive plošče 20 lahko zdravnik filtrira svetlobo s svetlobnega vira 1 tako, da izbrani filter oziroma izvrtino na vrtljivi plošči 20 postavi nad snop svetlobe s svetlobnega vira 1.1. By rotating the turntable 20, the physician can filter light from light source 1 by positioning the selected filter or hole on the rotating plate 20 above the light source from light source 1.
Reže, s pomočjo katerih se lahko oblikujejo osvetlitvene špranje različnih oblik in velikosti, so vrezane v osvetlitveni zaslonki 11, ki je prikazana na sliki 2. Osvetlitvena zaslonka 11 vsebuje posebno oblikovano režo za snemanje z digitalno kamero 2, ki jo sestavljajo tri odprtine, in sicer režna odprtina 22 in dve stranski odprtini 23 in 24. Režna odprtina 22 ima obliko običajne reže, kakršna se uporablja v špranjskih svetilkah (slika 2a), ali pa ima obliko kvadrata ali pravokotnika, ki omogoča osvetljevanje podrobnosti v očesu (slika 2b). Stranski odprtini 23 in 24, ki sta prednostno polkrožne oblike, sta postavljeni simetrično glede na vzdolžno os režne odprtine 22. Stranski odprtini 23 in 24 omogočata, da na senzor 30 digitalne kamere pride z očesa dovolj svetlobe za snemanje, poleg tega pa omogočata tudi osvetlitev delov očesa, ki jih sama projekcija ozke reže oziroma odprtine 22 ne osvetli. Odprtine 22, 23 in 24 med seboj niso povezane. Osvetlitvena zaslonka 11 vsebuje še druge oblike rež, namenjenih za opazovanje očesa, na primer reže 21,36 in 37 (slika 2). Pravokotni reži 21 in 36 sta namenjeni opazovanju ozkega dela očesa. Reža 37 je okrogle oblike in omogoča osvetlitev velike površine očesa. Poleg tega reža 37 omogoča osvetlitev celotnega vidnega polja digitalne kamere 2. Z vrtenjem osvetlitvene zaslonke 11 okoli njene središčne osi lahko zdravnik nad svetlobni vir 1 nastavi želeno obliko reže in s tem doseže, da so osvetljene različno velike površine opazovanega očesa. Osvetlitveno zaslonko 11 je mogoče vgraditi tako v prenosne kot tudi v stacionarne izvedbe špranjskih svetilk.The slots that can be used to create illumination gaps of various shapes and sizes are engraved in the illumination aperture 11 shown in Figure 2. The illumination aperture 11 comprises a specially designed recording slot with a digital camera 2 consisting of three openings, and otherwise, the slot opening 22 and the two side openings 23 and 24. The slot opening 22 is in the form of a conventional slot, such as that used in slit lamps (Figure 2a), or has the shape of a square or rectangle that allows illumination of details in the eye (Figure 2b). The lateral apertures 23 and 24, which are preferably semicircular in shape, are arranged symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the slot aperture 22. The lateral openings 23 and 24 allow the digital camera sensor 30 to receive enough light to capture, and also provide illumination parts of the eye that are not illuminated by the projection of the narrow slot or opening 22. The openings 22, 23 and 24 are not interconnected. Illumination aperture 11 also contains other slit shapes intended for eye observation, such as slots 21,36 and 37 (Figure 2). The rectangular slots 21 and 36 are intended to observe the narrow part of the eye. The slot 37 is round in shape and allows for a large area of the eye to be illuminated. In addition, the slot 37 allows the entire field of view of the digital camera to be illuminated. 2. By rotating the aperture 11 around its center axis, the physician can adjust the desired slot shape above the light source 1 to achieve differently illuminated areas of the observed eye. The illumination aperture 11 can be installed in both portable and stationary slit lamp designs.
Za uravnavanje jakosti svetlobnega vira 1 ter vzdrževanje pravilnega razmerja med napetostjo in tokom skozi svetlobni vir 1 skrbi krmilno vezje 14. Z nastavljalnikom 18, ki je vrtljivi gumb ali niz tipk, je mogoče jakost osvetlitve ročno nastavljati. Optični stolp 35 in držalo 6 s pripadajočo optiko sta vrtljiva okrog navpične osi 31, ki gre skozi gorišče 25 špranjske svetilke.The control circuit 14. The control circuit 14, which has a rotary knob or a series of buttons, can be adjusted manually to adjust the intensity of light source 1 and maintain the correct voltage-to-current ratio through light source 1. The optical tower 35 and the holder 6 with associated optics are rotatable about a vertical axis 31 which passes through the focus 25 of the slit lamp.
Digitalna kamera 2 se vgradi v ohišje, na primer v držalo 6 in se napaja iz glavne baterije 10 ali iz zunanjega napajalnika. Slika očesa se na digitalno kamero 2 projicira skozi lečje, ki ga lahko tvorijo naslednji optični elementi: objektiv 15 mikroskopa, povečevalnik 8 ter objektiv 19 kamere, kot je prikazano na sliki 1. Zrcalo 7, nameščeno med povečevalnikom 8 in objektivom 19 kamere, usmerja svetlobo, namenjeno digitalni kameri 2, iz horizontalne v vertikalno ravnino (slika 3). Če vzdolžna (vertikalna) os digitalne kamere 2 in os senzorja 30 nista vzporedni (slika 4), je lahko med objektiv 19 kamere in senzor 30 postavljeno še dodatno zrcalo 38, ki omogoča, da svetloba iz vertikalne ravnine pade na senzor 30. Povečava objektiva 19 kamere je lahko enaka povečavi, ki jo ima okular 16. S tem je omogočeno snemanje očesa pri enaki povečavi, kot jo uporablja zdravnik za vizualno pregledovanje pacientovega očesa. Poleg tega prehaja svetloba s pregledovanega očesa na digitalno kamero skozi objektiv 15 mikroskopa, ki služi tudi za vizualno opazovanje očesa prek okularja 16. Zaradi tega sta smeri vizualnega opazovanja in snemanja očesa enaki. Povečavo snemanja je mogoče tudi spremeniti z zamenjavo objektiva 19 kamere. Nekoliko večja povečava snemanja v primerjavi s povečavo vizualnega opazovanja je pogosto zaželena, ker se s tem doseže boljša globinska ostrina posnetkov digitalne kamere 2.The digital camera 2 is mounted in a housing, such as a holder 6, and is powered by a main battery 10 or an external power supply. The image of the eye is projected onto the digital camera 2 through a lens that can be formed by the following optical elements: microscope lens 15, magnifier 8, and camera lens 19, as shown in Figure 1. A mirror 7 placed between the magnifier 8 and the camera lens 19 directs light aimed at digital camera 2 from horizontal to vertical (Figure 3). If the longitudinal (vertical) axis of the digital camera 2 and the axis of the sensor 30 are not parallel (Figure 4), an additional mirror 38 may be placed between the lens of the camera and the sensor 30, allowing light from the vertical plane to fall on the sensor 30. Magnifying the lens 19 cameras can be the same as the magnification of the eyepiece 16. This allows the eye to be recorded at the same magnification as the doctor uses to visually inspect the patient's eye. In addition, the light from the examined eye to the digital camera passes through the lens of the microscope 15, which also serves for visual observation of the eye via the eyepiece 16. Therefore, the directions of visual observation and the recording of the eye are the same. Zoom can also be changed by replacing the camera lens 19. A slightly larger magnification of shooting compared to magnification of visual observation is often desirable because this results in a better depth of field of digital camera footage 2.
Objektiv 15 mikroskopa in okular 16 oziroma objektiv 15 mikroskopa in objektiv 19 kamere 2, definirata srednjo povečavo špranjske svetilke. S pomočjo povečevalnika 8 je mogoče skupno povečavo opazovanja in snemanja zmanjšati ali povečati. Učinkovanje povečevalnika 8 kot povečevala ali pomanjševala je odvisno od njegove lege - to je lahko realizirano kot afokalni Galilejev sistem, kakršen je prikazan na slikah, kjer se uporabljajo pari leč, nameščenih v vrtljivem bobnu, ali pa kot zoom sistem, kjer se spreminja položaj povečevalnih leč.The microscope lens 15 and the eyepiece 16, or the microscope lens 15 and the camera lens 19, define the mean magnification of the slit lamp. Magnifier 8 allows the total magnification of observation and recording to be reduced or increased. The effect of the magnifier 8 as a magnifier or a magnifier depends on its position - this can be realized as an afocal Galileo system, as shown in the pictures, using pairs of lenses mounted in a rotating drum, or as a zoom system where the magnifying position is changed lenses.
Krmiljenju digitalne kamere 2 in interakciji med digitalno kamero 2 in zdravnikom so namenjeni zaslon 9, gumbi 5 za upravljanje digitalne kamere 2, standardni izhod 4, ki omogoča povezavo digitalne kamere 2 z računalnikom, ter izhod 17 za priključitev opcijskega nožnega stikala 33 za proženje digitalne kamere 2. Digitalna kamera 2 lahko deluje v foto načinu, pri katerem snema posamezne posnetke ali sekvence posameznih posnetkov, ali v video načinu, za snemanje gibljivih posnetkov. Digitalna kamera 2 ima lahko vgrajen pomnilnik za shranjevanje posnetkov.The digital camera 2 and the interaction between the digital camera 2 and the doctor are controlled by screen 9, buttons 5 for controlling the digital camera 2, a standard output 4 for connecting the digital camera 2 to a computer, and an output 17 for connecting an optional foot switch 33 to activate the digital camera 2. Digital camera 2 can operate in photo mode, in which it shoots single shots or sequences of single shots, or in video mode, to record motion pictures. Digital Camera 2 may have built-in memory for storing recordings.
Slika 5 prikazuje pritrditev dodatne nekontaktne leče 26 za opazovanje očesnega ozadja. Na mesto na špranjski svetilki, kamor se običajno vstavlja palica za umerjanje špranjske svetilke, je vstavljena posebna palica 27. Le-ta omogoča namestitev nekontaktne leče 26 med objektiv 15 mikroskopa špranjske svetilke in oko 28 pacienta tako, da je gorišče nekontaktne leče 26 natanko v gorišču 25 špranjske svetilke oziroma objektiva 15 mikroskopa. Zaradi tega so svetlobni žarki 29, ki prehajajo z nekontaktne leče 26 na pacientovo oko 28, vzporedni. Vzporedni svetlobni žarki 29 se zaradi roženice in leče 32 v pacientovem očesu 28 fokusirajo v točko na očesni mrežnici 34, ki jo lahko zdravnik natančno opazuje in snema. Rešitev pritrditve nekontaktne leče 26 na ta način razbremeni zdravnika, saj mu leče 26 ni treba držati z roko, obenem pa je ves čas opazovanja zagotovljena najbolj optimalna oddaljenost leče 26 od gorišča 25 špranjske svetilke.Figure 5 shows the attachment of an additional non-contact lens 26 for observing the eye background. A special rod 27 is inserted into the spot on the slit lamp, where the slit lamp calibration rod is usually inserted, which allows the non-contact lens 26 to be placed between the lens of the slit lamp microscope 15 and the eye of 28 patients so that the focal point of the non-contact lens 26 is exactly in the focus of the 25 slit lamp or lens 15 of the microscope. As a result, the light rays 29 passing from the non-contact lens 26 to the patient's eye 28 are parallel. Due to the cornea and lens 32 in the patient's eye 28, the parallel light beams 29 are focused to a point on the retina 34, which can be accurately observed and recorded by the physician. The solution of mounting a non-contact lens 26 in this way relieves the doctor, since he does not have to hold the lens 26 by his hand, while at the same time ensuring the optimum distance of the lens 26 from the focal point 25 of the slit lamp during observation.
