Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis01:26

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

1.5K
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

1.2K
An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

755
The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

3.6K
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Dental Technology

    Background:

    • Current dental procedures often lack sufficient visual magnification, especially for deep root canal exploration.
    • Intraoral cameras and endoscopic systems are typically separate, limiting comprehensive imaging of both tooth exteriors and internal root canal structures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a novel integrated system combining an intraoral camera and an endoscopic system for enhanced dental visualization.
    • To facilitate improved clinical practice through combined imaging capabilities.

    Main Methods:

    • A new endoscopic system was fabricated using a thin image fiber and a SOPROLIFE intraoral camera.
    • An adaptor was developed to connect the intraoral camera and endoscopic components.
    • Resolution charts (50, 25, 10, 5 line pairs/mm) were imaged, and acquired images underwent processing for noise reduction and contrast enhancement using robust principal component analysis.

    Main Results:

    • The integrated system successfully imaged all resolution chart patterns.
    • Post-processing significantly reduced noise and enhanced image contrast.
    • Image visibility improved by 1.6 to 2.2 times compared to raw images across different line pair patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • The fabricated endoscopic system, integrated with the SOPROLIFE intraoral camera, effectively visualizes fine details within dental structures.
    • The developed image processing techniques yield high-contrast, low-noise images, improving diagnostic potential.
    • This integrated system represents a significant advancement towards noninvasive and contactless dental diagnostic tools.
