In order to improve the visual reception of information relating to the object, an examination apparatus is provided that comprises an examination arrangement and a control unit with at least a first interface and a second interface. The examination arrangement is adapted to detect object data from at least one region of interest of an object and to provide the object data to the control unit. Further, the control unit is adapted to compute object data into object information and to transform at least a part of the object information into image data (32, 36). Further, the control unit is arranged to extract pre-determined indicative data from the object information and to transform the indicative data into graphical advisory data (40). The first interface is configured such to provide the image data to a display unit (20) in order to display the image data (32, 36) to the user. The second interface is configured such to provide a signal for an ambient advice display arrangement in order to provide the graphical advisory data (40) to the user.

    摘要: Optical probes are provided for miniature applications, e.g. medical inspections and procedures or in industrial inspections. The probe comprises an optical guide, a first lens system mounted on a distal end portion of the optical guide for focusing light from the optical guide, an actuator for displacing the distal end portion and the first lens system to enable optical scanning, and a second lens system fixed inside the probe to receive radiation from the first lens system. The second lens system is selected to enable a deflection of radiation from the first lens system in a direction corresponding to a direction of displacement of the first lens system by the actuator. The second lens system can be a cheap negative lens, and the invention is thereby particularly useful for increasing the field of view (FOV) of cheap, disposable optical probes.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an apparatus, a method and a computer program for determining a lipid-water ratio and a scattering parameter of a sample. In particular, the invention relates to an apparatus comprising a light source and a detector arranged to measure an optical parameter at various wavelengths, where the wavelengths are selected so that at two of the wavelengths the absorption coefficients for both water and lipids are substantially identical. This enables determination of a scattering parameter. A further measurement at a third wavelength enables determination of a water-lipid ratio. According to a specific embodiment, the light source and the detector are arranged in relation to an interventional device, so as to be able to examine a tissue in terms of lipid-water ratio and scattering during an intervention.

The probe comprises an optical guide (2), a first lens system mounted (4) on a distal end portion (2A) of the optical guide for focusing light from the optical guide, actuation means (6,7) for displacing the distal end portion and the first lens system to enable optical scanning, and a second lens system (9) fixed inside the probe to receive radiation from the first lens system. The second lens system is selected to enable a deflection of radiation from the first lens system in a direction corresponding to a direction of displacement of the first lens system by the actuation means. The second lens system can be a cheap negative lens, and the invention is thereby particularly useful for increasing the field of view (FOV) cheap, disposable optical probes.

    摘要: The invention relates to an optical image probe(20) for particularly suited for miniature application e.g. in-vivo. A fluid lens(5) is positioned a housing (19),the fluid lens having a changeable optical power. An image collector (40) is positioned within the housing, the collector being arranged on an optical path of the fluid lens, the collector being displaceable along the said optical path by an actuator (42, 70, 80, 90) in various ways. It is highly advantageous in obtaining a compact optical image probe and which simultaneously has a high zoom factor. Due the possible displacement of the image collector and the changeable optical power of the fluid lens, and cooperation between these two elements, it is possible to obtain a compact endoscope with a wide dynamic range of zoom factor with satisfactory focusing properties.
