微型磁控內視鏡定位研究之改良

Abstract

膠囊內視鏡在各種內視鏡研究中，具有諸多優勢。如非侵入式檢驗、無需麻醉、即時畫面且膠囊鏡頭主動受控、價格低廉可大量生產、對於病灶之檢查可更為精準等等。同時以磁場主動控制膠囊內視鏡，最具研究挑戰性以及前瞻性，目前與各國研究團隊之研究並駕齊驅。 而本研究為微型磁控內視鏡定位研究之改良，主要在於如何精準定位出膠囊位置，與探討實際磁控內視鏡運作時，定位所發生的問題與解決方法，而使定位系統可以輔佐磁控平台。 本系統延伸自本實驗室研究畢業生-黃豐文之研究，而進一步改良，使得原先單一磁鐵定位的系統，可提升到雙顆磁鐵的定位。同時進一步研究通訊方式，使系統速度提升，也研究硬體架構，使之性能上升價格下降。

Among various kinds of endoscopic studies, the magnetic control capsule endoscopy(CE) has a number of advantages such as less-invasiveness, anesthesia-free procedure which can reduce patient`s uncomfortable during GI tract. Moreover, magnetic actuation can be utilized for real time steering the CE, and for accurately control the CE, adding magnetic localizing system while steering is considered. The research of magnetic control and localize of CE is in leading edge of this field. The focus of this study is on the improvement of the magnetic control CE, especially on how to accurately localize real time with CE and to explore and solve the problem during GI tract, and then feedback the information of position to magnetically controlled platform. This study is extended from Huang Fong-wen’s studies, and this research has upgraded the single-magnet localizing system to a dual-magnet localizing system. At the same time, the communications method is studied as well to boost the speed of this system. The hardware is ameliorated to better performance, and it`s also a low cost system.
