Endoscopy
Endoscopy simply means ‘looking inside’ and most typically refers to the medical field using medical imaging lens assemblies and looking inside the human body. The endoscope is an instrument used to examine the interior of a hollow organ or cavity in the body. Unlike most other medical imaging devices the endoscope is inserted directly into the organ with the use of these unique medical lens assemblies.
The endoscope is a complex medical instrument that consists of a rigid and flexible tube that is able to weave its way around inside the body in order to see every part of the organ. It also comes equipped with a light delivery system that allows the doctors to see inside the body. This light source is normally located outside the body and is delivered through an optical fiber system. A medical lens assembly transmits the image to the viewer from the objective lens to the viewer typically a lens relay system or a bundle of fiber optics transmits the image. It also features an eyepiece for the view and an additional channel to allow the entry of medical instruments during a procedure.
The endoscope has many purposes in the medical field and can be used in numerous procedures such as:
• The Gastrointestinal Tract
• The Respiratory Tract
• The Ear
• The Urinary Tract
• The Female Reproductive System
• Normally closed body cavities(through small incisions)
• During Pregnancy
• Plastic Surgery
• Orthopedic Surgery
• Endodontic Surgery
Endoscopy has made a lot of things possible in medical technology. We are able to detect and treat problem areas in the body with these tiny devices that once require incisions and surgery.
