ENDOSCOPE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18444738 titled 'ENDOSCOPE
The abstract describes an endoscope with an imaging device that includes a lens barrel, an imaging unit, a distal end part body with an insertion hole for the lens barrel, and an extending part from the proximal end surface of the distal end part body. The imaging device has an exposed part when the lens barrel is inserted, and the extending part faces at least the exposed part.
- The endoscope has an imaging device with a lens barrel and imaging unit.
- The distal end part body has an insertion hole for the lens barrel.
- An extending part extends from the proximal end surface of the distal end part body.
- The imaging device includes an exposed part when the lens barrel is inserted.
- The extending part is positioned to face at least the exposed part of the imaging device.
Potential Applications: - Medical procedures such as endoscopy and minimally invasive surgeries. - Industrial inspections in hard-to-reach areas. - Veterinary medicine for internal examinations of animals.
Problems Solved: - Improved visualization in confined spaces. - Enhanced precision in medical and industrial procedures. - Facilitates detailed examinations with minimal invasiveness.
Benefits: - Higher quality imaging for accurate diagnostics. - Increased efficiency in procedures. - Reduced risk for patients and improved outcomes.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Endoscopic Imaging Technology for Medical and Industrial Use This technology can be utilized by medical institutions, industrial companies, and veterinary clinics for various imaging needs. It can lead to improved diagnostics, streamlined procedures, and overall better outcomes for patients and clients.
Questions about Endoscopic Imaging Technology: 1. How does this technology improve visualization in medical procedures? 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits for healthcare facilities and industrial companies with this innovation?
Original Abstract Submitted
An endoscope includes an imaging device that includes a lens barrel and an imaging unit, a distal end part body that has an insertion hole into which the lens barrel is inserted, and an extending part that is provided by being extended from a proximal end surface of the distal end part body, in which the imaging device includes, in a state in which the lens barrel is inserted into the insertion hole, an exposed part that is exposed from the proximal end surface of the distal end part body, and the extending part is disposed at a position facing at least the exposed part of the imaging device.
