A novel scanning endoscope uses an insect-eye-inspired prism array for 3D imaging and precise measurements, enhancing minimally invasive surgery by overcoming depth perception and field-of-view limitations.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Surgical Technology
  • Optical Instrumentation

Background:

  • Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) faces challenges including limited depth perception, restricted field of view, and lack of dimensional reference.
  • Accurate 3D visualization and measurement are crucial for improving surgical precision and patient outcomes in MIS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a scanning endoscope capable of projecting 3D images and providing precise dimensional measurements for MIS.
  • To overcome the limitations of current endoscopic technologies by introducing a novel optical design.

Main Methods:

  • A compound-eye-inspired design utilizing an array of prisms with overlapping fields of view.
  • Individual prism control via electro-chromic shutters for multi-directional scanning without mechanical parts.

  • Image processing techniques to compare overlapping views and calculate absolute coordinates for dimensional measurements.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated the plausibility of the technology through large-scale model testing.
    • The endoscope design enables 3D imaging and precise measurements using a single camera.
    • Eliminates the need for mechanical scanning components, simplifying the device.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed scanning endoscope technology shows significant potential for advancing minimally invasive surgical procedures.
    • The novel optical design offers a viable solution for enhancing 3D visualization and metrology in endoscopic applications.
    • Further research into fabrication methods for miniaturization is warranted.
