Abstract:
Objective The existing laryngoscope can not be used to observe the ultrastructure of cells.As a result,doctors always have to conduct biopsies on some patients who can not be diagnosed.The timeconsuming procedure of biopsy may be detrimental to the timely diagnosis and treatment.To solve this problem,we aimed to design the integrative confocal-microscopic hard laryngoscope system (ICMHL).Methods ICMHL system integrated the technique of existing laryngoscope and confocal microscopy,which allows doctors to observe the macrostructure and microstructure of lesions at the same time. Results With the effect of fluorescein sodium,ICMHL system could record the dynamic changes of cells at a rate of 30 fps,and the confocal-microscopic host machine could photograph images at a rate of 230 fps and diagnose invisible minute lesions.Conclusion ICMHL system provides a new,real-time approach for clinic biopsy.
